The God Who is There (Part 10)

Preacher: Travis Fleming

Series:Man at Work

Summary:

Mark is fascinated with two qualities of Jesus that he gives to us in the first words of this gospel: "The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1). Jesus of Nazareth, a carpenter, the human Jesus—but also the Son of God, the divine one. Mark seems to be fascinated by that combination: the Ruler who manifests His ability to serve, and the Servant who knows how to rule.

Detail:

            •  Allowed for a humble demeanor
            •  Resulted in a persistent desire

2.   The determined faith of a rejected woman.

      This was seen in her:

            •  Condition
            •  Cure
            •  Confession 

He is not there for...

3.  The dead faith of a spirtually unresponsive people.

      While unresponsive in faith they:

            •  Loved the show
            •  Laughed with scorn
            •  Loathed the Savior
