The disciples question Jesus about the end of the world, and as He answers in Mark 13:32-37, He provides a directive of how we should live as we anticipate these things. As we see what Jesus wants us to do as we watch prophetic signs fulfilled before our eyes, we learn to live with expectation, urgency, and joy.

Watch! by Brett Meador

After stumping the scribes with a tricky theological question, Jesus makes scathing remarks against their religious practices. As we study these interactions in Mark 12:35-44, we learn how to avoid doing things for show or status like the scribes and instead do them with pure motives like the poor widow who gave her all.

Several different groups of people come to question Jesus in Mark 11:27-12:34 with queries ranging from authority to taxes, to the afterlife, to the law. As Jesus deftly responds, He silences His critics and makes them – and us – think about who He really is and how we will respond to Him.

Questioning the Christ by Brett Meador

A lot is happening as Jesus journeys back and forth between Jerusalem and Bethany in Mark 10:31-11:33. As He travels, He tells His disciples exactly what will happen to Him, teaches them about humility, and fulfills prophecy as He borrows a donkey to ride into Jerusalem on a long-ago precisely determined day.

A blind man named Bartimaeus cries out to Jesus for healing from his affliction in Mark 10:46-52. As we look into his beautiful act of faith, we see a model of how to come to Jesus, what we can expect when we ask Him for help, and how our lives can be radically changed when we follow Him.

Marriage, divorce, children, and wealth are all extremely hot topics in our modern culture – but did you know they were also highly controversial and debated in Jesus’ day? As Jesus addresses these issues in Mark 10:1-30, we hear His paradoxical responses and learn how to view them biblically despite current views and narratives.

Through the Bible | Mark 10:1-30 by Brett Meador

A rich young ruler comes to Jesus in Mark 10:17-27 asking what he must do to be saved. And the answer Jesus gives is astounding! As we hear what Jesus says, we see what the rich young ruler lacked, how various snares can keep us from Jesus, and why we should accept His free gift of salvation.

What Must I Do To Be Saved by Brett Meador

Jesus and three of His disciples ascend a mountain in Mark 9 and what happens next – known as the transfiguration – is a fascinating event that raises many questions. As we seek to break down what happened, we learn important information about Jesus’ kingdom, see the disciples' reactions, and hear what happened after they came down.

Through the Bible | Mark 9 by Brett Meador

We join Jesus as He travels around the Decapolis region and makes more headlines by feeding 4,000 people, curbing the Pharisees' intrigues, and healing another blind man. As we study these events in Mark 8, we see Jesus as our provider, Messiah, and one worthy of following boldly.

Mark 8 by Brett Meador

After the disciples failed to help, a man with a demon-possessed son comes to Jesus in Mark 9:14-29 asking for healing and relief from the tormenting spirit. As Jesus addresses the situation, we see how demonic activity manifests in our day and how we – especially fathers – should respond.

Through-the-Bible teaching with Pastor Brett Meador at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship.

After calling out the Pharisees on their vain traditions, Jesus has more to say about the condition of our hearts and what defiles us in Mark 7. Then we find Him traveling through the region, healing people to demonstrate His love and compassion for everyone, showing us how to minister to others, and doing all things well.

Through the Bible | Mark 7 by Brett Meador

The Pharisees confront Jesus after finding fault in His disciples for violating their rules and question Him as to why they are not following their traditions. As Jesus answers in Mark 7:1-13, we learn how to think about traditions, if, when, and how we should cover or expose sins, and how the Word of God is always the authority on our actions.

Traditions of Men by Brett Meador

Have you ever had a golden opportunity? Did you take advantage of it, or did you miss it? In Mark 6, we see people presented with opportunities to experience what Jesus has to offer in forgiveness, salvation, and healing. As we watch how they respond, may we be those who don’t miss out on the opportunity to know Jesus.

Through the Bible | Mark 6 by Brett Meador

Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth in Mark 6:1-6 to a chilly reception and an outraged community that prevented Him from performing miracles there. As we learn why Jesus faced such rejection from His hometown, we find many of the same reasons people still reject Jesus today.

Nothing in Nazareth by Brett Meador

In a risky move, a religious leader falls before Jesus to ask Him to come heal his sick daughter. This request sets off a chain of events in Mark 5:21-43 that will show Jesus’ power over sickness and death, His compassion upon everyone, and that we can trust Him to keep His promises through delays and interruptions, despite ridicule and risk, and in the most extreme circumstances.

Through the Bible | Mark 5:21-43 by Brett Meador

After years of suffering, pain, and failed medical treatments, a woman hears about Jesus and hatches a plan to touch the hem of His garment, hoping for healing from her condition. As she carries out her bold action in Mark 5:25-34, the woman not only receives the healing she needs but also serves as an example for us to come to Jesus for salvation and to seek Him first, no matter what we are facing.

Healed and Whole by Brett Meador

Jesus’ ministry is in full swing in Mark 4:21-5:20 as He travels about teaching parables and demonstrating His power over demons. As we hear what He has to say and watch events unfold, we learn important lessons on compromise, caring for others, sharing the Word, and identifying good and bad seeds.

Through the Bible | Mark 4:21-5:20 by Brett Meador

Jesus and His disciples are crossing the sea of Galilee in Mark 4:35-41 when a fierce storm threatens to swamp and sink their boat. As we watch Jesus calm the wind and waves, we learn how to face the storms we will all undoubtedly encounter by placing our trust in Jesus and the peace only He can provide.

Peace in the Storm by Brett Meador

Jesus shares the parable of the sower and the seeds in Mark 4:1-20, emphasizing the importance of listening to what He is saying with an ear to understand. As we try to do just that by digging into some underlying concepts, pictures, and theology, we see common threads that span the Bible and unlock essential truths about God’s plan for humanity and how we should live as Christians.

Through the Bible | Mark 4:1-20 by Brett Meador

As Jesus gains notoriety, He begins to attract the attention of the public and the indignation of the religious leaders. As we watch how He interacts with both groups in Mark 3, we see Him respond to the crowds with compassion and love and to the religious leaders with logic and righteous anger as they accuse and criticize Him.

When someone predicts something what are the odds it will really come to pass?  While the guesses of others are occasionally hit and largely miss, we can say for certain that 100 percent of what God says will happen will happen.  As we study God’s perfect prophecies in Isaiah 21:1-23:18, we see how everything has already come to pass or is even now lining up towards future fulfillment.
