We see the people rebel in making a golden calf and the circumstances that led to that choice. We also see Moses' response and contrast how to Biblically react to sinful conditions.

We see how after Moses delivered a fairly long and significant message from the Lord, he directs the people and then returns to the Lord. We analyze how a present (in time and closeness) relationship to the Lord is key to ministry.

We see how the Lord promises to fight for the children of Israel in the Promised land and how it will happen little by little.

As Israel’s religious leaders continue to reject Jesus’ ministry, we begin to see the mystery of the church unfold.

God commands the children of Israel to set aside time each year for 3 feasts. We look at the value of this, the risks of missing the point and the picture of the future.

We look at the judgments presented to Moses by God, which cover a wide range of real life scenarios and how to deal with them.

We see how the issuing of the 10 Commandments, response to the Lord moving and principles of sacrifice at the altar point us to a right relationship with the Lord.

Jesus continues His preaching and healing ministry, but is under intense scrutiny from the hard-hearted religious leaders.

We see the Lord's interaction with the children of Israel has expectations and those expectations give us insight to living a sanctified life; we explore sanctification.

We look at Jethro's counsel to Moses and how Moses implements structure to provide assistance in ministry.

We look at Moses' testimony before Jethro and how powerful a personal testimony is. We include a strong example and allow small group time to work on our individual testimonies.

Amalek attacks the Children of Israel and they respond in battle; battle which is one first spiritually and then by not being weary.

Why are lambs a biblical theme throughout the Old and New Testament? In this sermon, we will see through the sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, God’s atonement for our sin.

The Children of Israel, for a third time, lack faith for provision. Their sin escalating to doubting God's presence. The Lord instructs Moses in ministry leadership through provision.

We see how to Biblically respond to challenges in our lives and to give attention to how God is working in them.

We see the Lord convert bitter waters to sweet after the Red Sea and how the Children of Israel handled that situation and how we should handle similar challenges in our lives.

As Jesus’ public ministry begins in the book of Mark, we find Jesus ministering with authority and compassion, resulting in the sick healed, lepers cleansed and demons cast out.

We see Israel's faith test and deliverance at the Red Sea and at the same time we see Pharaoh's judgment. Deliverance and Judgment are coupled.

We look at how God chose a much harder path for the Children of Israel, but with a purpose.

This introduction to the Gospel of Mark covers four witnesses of Jesus Christ being the Son of God.
