Free Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark

By Group Ministry

For many today, Christianity is about morality, knowledge, or social connections. But for first-century Christians, it was first about identity with Jesus—being like Him, following after Him, doing what He did, saying what He said, and obeying His commands. 

The Gospel of Mark is all about action. Does it teach deep theology? Absolutely. Does it tell us interesting and insightful things about Jesus? Of course it does. But why? Perhaps to spur us to action, to cause us to take the truth we hold in our hearts and demonstrate it with our hands. Mark’s Gospel is all about being doers and not merely hearers of the Word. 

For the next six weeks, Lifeway is offering a free Bible study on Mark to anyone who wants to participate. As you walk through this short but powerful book, many of your preconceptions about Christianity may be challenged. You may find yourself faced with difficult questions about what it actually means to be a follower of Jesus. And if this happens, you will be blessed. 

To access the first week of the study, entitled Calls, just click here! 

This six-week Bible study is an excerpt from a 13-session study in the Explore the Bible Daily Discipleship Guide. Explore the Bible helps your whole church grow together in God’s Word one book at a time, learning how to know, love, and invest in God’s truth in a way that is practical enough for daily application, sustainable in individual and group settings, and age-appropriate for the entire church.

    Hi, I am a Reader (Licensed Lay Minister) in the Anglican Church. This first week of your Calls course looks perfect for one of my Bible Study groups. Please could you let me know how I can access the further 5 weeks of the course? Also, if you have anything similar on the Gospel of John for our other group, I’d be delighted to hear about it.

    I’d really love to study this course with my group, to bring the word of God alive for them, that we might all learn more of our Heavenly Father. Our church is in Spain but due to the lockdown, I am in England with family. It means that all my resources are in Spain and I need help!

    So many thanks to all who have contributed and worked hard to bring the course to us. God is blessing others through your dedicated and faithful discipleship.

    Thank you and may God bless you richly,

    Sharon

      Hey Sharon!

      So glad to hear you want to take your group through this study. We will actually be posting each session up once a week on Mondays for the next 5 weeks for the rest of the study. You can simply download the sessions from the blog each week! We hope these will serve you and your group well in this season!
