    About this ebook

    This is a Bible Study Series on the Gospel of Mark, from a Lutheran Perspective, that explores this story's take on Christ, view of the Cross, and, through basic questions, implications for our Contemporary lives. It is meant to be used in a small group; however, it is hoped that it will still be beneficial for even a lone student. This first part covers Introductory Material and Mark 1:1-3:6. Seven more Sessions will follow.

      Stumbling Blocks That Delay Church Transformation Part 5

      May 20, 2022
