Mark 7 – Mark 8:26

INNER PURITY NEEDED
and
JESUS MINISTRY EXPANDS

Defilement and an indifference to the will and purpose of God was evident in the Pharisees

INNER PURITY WAS A NECESSARY COMMODITY TO SEE GOD UNDERTAKE IN THEIR MIDST
and
IS A NECESSARY COMMODITY TODAY AS WELL IN OUR LEADERS both POLITICALLY and in the RELIGIOUS WORLD as well as in the LEADERSHIP of our HOMES and FAMILIES
Mark 7:1-23

Jesus ministry expands beyond Galilee to set a girl free of a demon
FAITH WAS THE KEY HERE WITH JESUS POWER EXPANDING ANY DISTANCE TO BRING FORTH DELIVERANCE
Mark 7:24-30

Jesus heals many in vicinity of Tyre
Mark 7:31-37

Jesus feeds four thousand both naturally and spiritually
and He likewise reaches forth to meet our spiritual needs as well
Mark 8:1-9

The Pharisees seek a sign lacking faith as many do so today
Mark 8:10-13

The Disciples do not understand
Mark 8:14-21
with Jesus warning them to beware of wrong teaching

Jesus restores sight to a blind man
but the greatest type of restoration is having
Spiritual sight restored
Mark 8:22-26

Peter’s confession of Christ

“Thou art the Christ”

Whom do we say that Christ is?
Mark 8:27-33

COST of DISCIPLESHIP

Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me
Mark 8:34
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this generation of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels
Mark 8:38

In the midst of apathy and many forms of evil that is so relevant today
Inner Purity
is so desperately needed and a desperate need to so connect with Christ recognizing whom He is and that is a personal and ongoing relationship available to us all

JESUS REACHES OUT TO BRING RESTORATION REACHING OUT TO US INDIVIDUALLY AS WE SO BECOME AWARE OF HIS LOVE AND AWESOME GRACE

TAKE HOLD OF JESUS TODAY AND SO STAND STEADFAST
