Low Fidelity (Mark 9:30-32)
Mark picks up his narrative after the events surrounding the transfiguration and the disciples&#8217; failure to exorcise the demon possessed boy with a teaching time for the disciples.
Jesus re-prophecies about the coming death and resurrection, but adds a new element that scares them.

Angry at God



by Ravi Zacharias


Are you mad at God? There are a lot of Christians these days who have an axe to grind with their creator. Is that healthy? Is it sin? This week Ravi Zacharias talks to a clinical psychologist about our feelings of anger when it comes to God.

Coming to Terms
Mark 8:34-9:1
Jesus lays down a three fold description of true followership. When we claim to be his disdciples, we need to come to terms with discipleship as He describes it. If we refuse or redefine what following looks like, we may well not be followers at all.

—Seeing with New Eyes (P&#38;R, 2003), p. 43.

In our text today (Mark 7:14-23) Jesus calls the crowd to Himself and presents a paradigm shift in their thinking with regard to personal holiness. How can you be right with God? Does our sin come from outside of us, or from inside of us? Jesus&#8217; words rocks their world, as it should our own.
