This Week's Passage

This week's passage is Mark 1:21-28. In it we witness the first miracle of Jesus in Mark's account of the Gospel. But we also witness Jesus come into a synagogue and begin teaching as one with authority. 

What did this authority mean? How did it differ from the teachings of the Scribes?

How does the exorcism of the demoniac play into Jesus' purpose on earth?

Reflect on the relationship between amazement and belief as responses to how Jesus teaches and performs miracles.
