Hope Sabbath School

Who was the first to evangelize the Gospel of a risen Savior? Why were the disciples so slow to believe in His resurrection? Why is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead such an important truth for Christians? This lesson will answer these questions and discuss our role in the Great Commission.

In this lesson we will discuss the Last Supper, the events of Gethsemane, the "trial" before the Sanhedrin, and Peter's denial of Christ. What can we learn from Jesus' conduct during these interactions? How can we avoid dangerous self-confidence?

"What lessons can be learned about personal sacrifice from the widow's offering? This lesson will also explore the dual prophetic message of Jesus in Mark 13. What counsel did Jesus provide that will help us to prepare for His return?"

In this lesson Jesus begins to help his disciples understand his mission and suffering as the Messiah. What is the cost of discipleship? How does Jesus define "greatness"? Why did the disciples struggle to understand?

Jesus sought to help the religious leaders see how they put tradition over God's commands, and correct their backwards understanding of defilement. How did meeting the physical needs of the people have an impact on meeting their spiritual needs?

Mark continues his action packed account of Jesus' ministry in chapters 5-6. What lessons can we learn from his work? From his rejection in Nazareth? From sending the 12 on their first mission? What can we learn from the feeding of the 5,000?

Mark jumps right into the active ministry of Jesus. We will explore the lessons Mark has packed into this first chapter.
