Description

Ten studies for individuals or groups

Jesus has always been endlessly fascinating to people, yet few know accurately the eye-witness record of Jesus found in the gospels. These ten Bible-studies in Mark’s gospel provide a great opportunity to find out the truth about Jesus, taking you on a journey of discovery through the first eight chapters, as the disciples learn who Jesus really is. Find out for yourself just how much Mark has packed into his brief account of Jesus!

You’ll learn, beyond doubt, that Jesus is King, but also find answers to many questions: Why does this promised king come in such a secret way? Why is He powerful, yet opposed? Why does He stop people talking about Him? Why do some recognize Him, but not others?

Most of all however, with two very practical sections for personal application in every session, this course aims to help each of us live with Jesus as our king.

Other information

The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.

"The format is very user-friendly and the content is rich and accessible."
- Justin Taylor, Gospel Coalition blogger and Vice-President of Editorial, Crossway

"God-centered, application-oriented, and driven by the text throughout, this resource is a gift to God’s church."
- Matt Smethurst, Gospel Coalition reviewer and Master of Divinity student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Here at Covenant Life Church, we have greatly benefitted from the small group resources from The Good Book Company. Many small groups in our family life ministry have used "Colossians: Confident Christianity" in their study of scripture. Additionally, our youth ministry has used "Romans 1-5: God and You" in their small groups. Both resources were very easy to use, helped the reader engage directly with the scriptures, and had a wonderful pastoral emphasis demonstrated in all the questions.
- Dave Brewer, Youth Pastor at Covenant Life Church, Maryland

Great for personal or group study

 This is a helpful resource whether you're delving into the gospel of Mark for the first or know it well. Whether for personal study or small groups, the questions provide a useful framework which can be built upon. The leaders notes are good and provide further study suggestions.

Good study guide for a confident group

 A good study guide to Mark's gospel that encourages the group to look into the Old Testament. Some of the questions, though, need rephrasing as they can really only be answered using the additional questions in the "leader's study guide" at the back. As there is so much input from the OT, lots of flicking back and forth is needed during the discussion which is difficult for people who are not used to finding their way around the Bible.

Helpful and challenging

 This study helps you to go deeper into the book of Mark and asks thoughtful questions. Four of us have been looking at this study book together and have found it very helpful.

good

 The study content is good, no doubt.
The main problem is that the length of the passages is pretty big to cover in a small group session. One one or two sessions the title of the study felt a little bit 'enforced' on the text - but I probably do that in a lot of sermons too. The leaders notes are brilliant as ususal.

Highly recommended

 Working through this at present with many compliments from the small group members. Some groups are finding that they are unable to cover all the questions in an hour.

Gladly recommend the material to all.

I would recommend them to anyone.
