Jesus Teaches in Parables | Mark 4:1-34

For the next several months we are spending our Sunday morning teaching time in a series called Follow Me: The Gospel of Mark. Though this book focuses on sharing the historical events of Jesus’ earthly ministry, it is extremely practical—calling the audience to follow Him, the Son of God. This week we will be studying Mark 4:1-34, observing how Jesus teaches in parables—short stories or illustrations used to make a key point. In this passage we will get a closer look at Jesus’ teaching ministry as He shares with the growing crowd the parables of the sower, the growing seed, and the mustard seed. We will see how all of these stories share veiled truths about God’s Kingdom, but privately He explains their meanings to His disciples, showing that the Kingdom grows gradually and is understood by those open to His message. Join us as we dive deeper into Jesus’ message of the Kingdom of God.
