Mark

In part 6 of the seek, serve, share series from Immanuel Bible Church, Michael looks at true servants as Jesus defines them in Mark 10:42-45.

Q: Can women be deacons? Were deacons an actual “office” in the first church, or were they simply servants/volunteers as the word denotes?

What’s the context of Jesus’s statement that “there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”? A great question and possibly Dr. E’s fastest answer to date.

Q: How do you reconcile the moments when you lack faith or don’t trust God?

Dr. Mark Strauss joins Michael to help us study the book of Mark.

We’re glad to be back in The Big Book––Cover to Cover. Michael teaches an overview of the book of Matthew and offers context for discussing the four gospel accounts this month. “The gospel in regards to Christianity is, in fact, the best news.”

The Holy Spirit leads, guides, teaches, and instructs. But that instruction had better have the Word of God behind it and not just your or my experience. Our experiences must be weighted and measured by Scripture and wisdom.

How do you talk about Jesus Christ in a few moments and do any justice to the Doctrine of Christology? I won’t, but we will begin a beginning.

When we think about this doctrine of the Trinity – that there’s three persons in one Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – even for academics and Theologians, it’s a mind bending subject. It’s complicated. Yet, Scripture has a lot to offer about the relationship not only within the Trinity, but as human beings relate to God. Interestingly, apart from a Trinitarian Godhead, no one could be saved. In other words, if we don’t understand the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the role of those three persons; we don’t understand how a human being could be saved.
