This in-depth inductive Bible study examines Mark's record of events in Christ's life and ministry and considers the same events as presented in the other Gospels. The twenty-two-week study looks for eternal principles to lead Christ's followers to a life of obedience and commitment. It includes many questions to bring personal application from Christ's teaching through Mark's historical and biographical narrative. The lessons also offer reflections in Scripture in the study of the classical spiritual disciplines to challenge students to grow in their faith as mature disciples of Christ. The study provides a number of options for completing the lessons. When a group is meeting weekly, each student will benefit from the review discussion suggested in the accompanying leader's guide.
