Mark 4–5 Explained | Storms, Deliverance, Healing & Trusting Jesus | Bible Study

In this week’s home group teaching, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark as Jesus reveals His authority over chaos, darkness, sickness, shame, and even death itself. As the disciples face a storm, a tormented man is restored, a hidden woman is called daughter, and a grieving father watches Jesus speak life where everyone else sees only loss, Mark keeps bringing us back to one honest question: Who is this man… and can He really be trusted? This teaching explores: • Jesus calming the storm • Faith in seasons of fear and uncertainty • Jesus’ authority over darkness and spiritual oppression • Why people sometimes resist transformation • The healing of the bleeding woman • Identity, belonging, and being called daughter • Jairus, delayed answers, and trusting Jesus when it feels too late Perfect for home group discussion, personal discipleship, Bible study, quiet reflection, or anyone wanting to go deeper into the life and ministry of Jesus.
