Miracles in Mark David Spell

Description: The Gospel of Mark has long been regarded as ""The Gospel of Action."" It contains more miracles and supernatural phenomena than Matthew, Luke, or John. In fact, a third of Mark's Gospel is centered on the miraculous deeds of Jesus. Mark is clearly more concerned with what Jesus did than with what He said. From the vision that Jesus experienced at His baptism to the supernatural events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection, Dr. Spell will take the reader on a journey of exploration through the pages of Mark's Gospel. The miracles of Jesus are as profoundly important for us today as they were for those who experienced them. This study will help to guide readers in finding insights for their own lives. Endorsements: ""As with any study of Scripture, we do not just want to understand what the writer intended to say to his original audience. We also want to understand what spiritual truths lay hidden in the pages, waiting to be mined through prayer and study. This discussion will examine the miracles and supernatural experiences in both contexts. We will attempt to get the feel of what a first century believer might have felt when hearing these stories for the first time."" --from the Introduction About the Contributor(s): David Spell is part of the Leadership/Pastoral Team for the C3 Church (www.christiancitychurch.com) in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
