Ep 16 Mark 6:14-29 Party of Death

Ep. 17 Mark 6:30-44

Welcome to The Berean Post, where we take Bible study seriously — just like the Bereans Paul commended in Acts 17:11. In today’s study, we’re looking at Mark 6:30–44, the miraculous feeding of the five thousand — a moment that reveals Jesus as the true Shepherd who both teaches and provides. Here, we don’t defend denominations — we divide Scripture rightly. We dig into the text the way the first hearers would have understood it, so we can faithfully apply it to our lives today. 🔍 In This Episode: The apostles return from their mission and find rest in Jesus The compassion of Christ for the lost and weary How the miracle points back to Moses and forward to the Messiah What this passage reveals about Jesus’ identity and our faith

Ep 16 Mark 6:14-29 Party of Death

Herod threw a banquet meant for celebration… but it ended in tragedy. In this shocking moment from the Gospel of Mark, pride, lust, and fear collide — and a prophet of God loses his life. Yet even in Herod’s dark palace, God’s Kingdom is still quietly advancing. This is more than just a story of power and corruption — it’s a reminder that truth is costly, courage matters, and God’s justice never sleeps. 🎧 Watch the whole teaching now: https://youtu.be/ud7O_-Zk0Fw [https://youtu.be/ud7O_-Zk0Fw]

Ep. 15 Mark 6:7–13 — Sent With Nothing but Authority

Sent With Nothing but Authority | Mark 6:7–13 | Studies in the Gospel of Mark (Ep. 15) Jesus sends the Twelve into the villages with almost nothing. No bag. No money. No bread. Not even a spare tunic. Just the sandals on their feet, a staff in hand, a jar of oil, and His authority. Mark’s account of this sending raises big questions: Why were they told to travel light? Why does Mark say they could take a staff and sandals, while Matthew and Luke forbid them? What did it mean to shake the dust off their feet? And why would Jesus say it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the judgment than for towns that reject His messengers? In this episode, we’ll step into that moment with the disciples, wrestle with the so-called contradiction between the Gospels, and explore the weight of Jesus’ warning. We’ll also compare His instructions with the Didache — one of the earliest Christian writings — and contrast it with the way many modern “apostles” travel today.

Ep. 14 Mark 5:35–43 Do Not Be Afraid, Only Believe

Do Not Be Afraid, Only Believe | Mark 5:35–43 | Studies in the Gospel of Mark (Ep. 14) The house was chaos. Mourners filled the air with wailing. Neighbors pressed in. Death had taken Jairus’ daughter. But when Jesus walked in, everything changed. In this episode, we continue the story of Jairus, the synagogue ruler who fell at Jesus’ feet begging for his little girl’s life. Too late, the message came: “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But Jesus answers with words that still echo today: “Do not be afraid. Only believe.” 📖 Anchor Text: Mark 5:35–43 (NKJV) 🔍 Themes Covered: Jesus’ authority over death Fear vs. faith in the face of loss First-century funeral practices and cultural background The power of Jesus’ personal touch and words (“Talitha, cumi”) ✨ Key Takeaways: Faith confronts fear when hope seems gone. Jesus clears away the noise of doubt and mockery. For Him, death is sleep — awaiting His voice. Resurrection is personal: He calls us by name. 👉 Subscribe for more studies through the Gospel of Mark: [channel link] 👉 Visit the blog and podcast archive at https://bereanpost.ca [https://bereanpost.ca] 💬 Share your thoughts: What do Jesus’ words “Do not be afraid, only believe” mean to you today? #GospelOfMark #BibleStudy #DoNotBeAfraid #FaithOverFear #BereanPost

Ep. 13 Mark 5:25–34 Who Touched Me

Ep. 13 — Mark 5:25–34 Who Touched Me? For twelve years she lived with rejection, shame, and pain. No doctor could help. No friend could touch her. She was broke, frail, and forgotten. But in one desperate moment, she pushed through the crowd to touch Jesus — and heard the word she never thought she’d hear again: Daughter. In this episode, we step into the first-century world of Mark’s Gospel. We’ll see what this story meant for Mark’s first readers, why Jesus’ response shocked the crowd, and how His compassion for a broken reed still speaks today. Anchor Text: Mark 5:25–34 (NKJV)
