Questions About Fasting and the Sabbath | Mark 2:18-28
Several weeks ago we started a series called Follow Me: The Gospel of Mark. We chose this name because a significant emphasis in Mark’s gospel is Jesus’ call to discipleship. This book tells us who Jesus is, how to enter into a relationship with Him, and what it means to follow Him with your life. So far in our study we have been observing Jesus as he begins His earthly ministry. This week we will be continuing that quest as we study Mark 2:18-28. In our passage we will see how Jesus responds to growing questions regarding His practices. Specifically we will observe Him teach about fasting and the Sabbath, revealing the people’s misunderstandings and asserting His authority over religious traditions. Join us as we learn about the true meaning of religious practices and how that applies to our lives.

This week we will be studying Mark 2:1-17 and will see how Jesus’ ministry brings confusion. We will see that as His ministry grows, Jesus will confound the religious leaders by claiming the authority to forgive sins and by fellowshipping with sinners. Join us this week as we consider the purpose of His ministry and what that has to do with our lives.
