Reality Show (Part 3)

Passage: Mark 1:16-39

Preacher: Tim Badal

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:

Mark tells us that Jesus spent time:

1.  Investing in potential partners.

Jesus picked men who were F.A.S.T.

  •  
    • Faithful
    • Available
    • Spiritual
    • Teachable

2.  Interacting with problem people.

Mark speaks to two groups:

  •  
    • Harmful people
    • Hurting people

3.  In a private place.

This privacy allows for:

  •  
    • Times of reflection
    • A strong relationship with God
    • A reengagement to your ministry
