| Mark 10:17-31 |
Who Owns You? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Our idea about success involves three things - all of which were possessed by a man who approaches Jesus. What is he looking for and why? The answers should affect your outlook on this life and the one to come. |

Soft Heart - Hard Heart |
Tom Fuller |
|
| As humans we naturally try to do what is in our own best self interest. This doesn't always coincide with the character of God. Such is the case with divorce. Jesus shocks His men and the Pharisees with a refreshing look at relationships. As we look at the topic, what seems to matter is the condition of our heart. |

Salty Christians |
Tom Fuller |
|
| What influences you and what kind of influence are you on others? In the final portion of Mark Chapter 9, Jesus describes a common substance: salt. It is either salty or flavorless. When it comes to you affect on your environment are you salt or unsalty? |

| Mark 9:14-37 |
Who's In Charge? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion of Mark 9. |

Why Follow Jesus? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Probably one of the most common questions people have when evaluating Christianity is: "Why should I follow Jesus Christ?" He made a lot of claims, and might even have come back from the dead, but so what? In Mark 8 and 9 we see the two reasons why you should feel comfortable placing your life in His hands. |

Incomplete Vision |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Jesus asks a crucial question of His disciples - a question that every single person in all of creation and all of history must answer. How you answer may be influenced by a crucial lack in your life - a lack Jesus can uncover. |

|
| Mark 7:23-8:21 |
What is Faith? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| What is the real nature of faith? We often think it is blind trust in Jesus to give us what we ask for. In reality faith means a transformation of how you think of life, needs, and your relationship with Jesus. |

| Mark 6:53-7:23 |
Battling the Broken Mind |
Tom Fuller |
|
| The saying "It's all in your head" is truer than we would like to admit. What can start out as something done with good intentions can lead us very far astray save for one crucial ingredient: God's Word. |

|
| Mark 6:32-52 |
The Compassion & Provision of Jesus |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Sometimes in our zeal of serving God we begin to take the reigns and can actually not really trust and rely on Jesus for the very work He has called us to. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 6:1-31 |
What Do You Think About Jesus - really? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| So what do you think of Jesus? You've heard about Him from the culture and even from the church but is that really Jesus? Some people are afraid of sharing their faith knowing the possible rejection they'll receive - so is it worth it? |

| Mark 5:21-43 |
Do you Trust Me No Matter What? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Jesus challenges us by not showing up when we think He should or answering prayers in the way we think. He also challenges us to go deeper than we ever have in our trust. What will be your answer when he challenges you to trust Him no matter what? |

How Much Do You Long for Jesus? |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Many times the things that affect us the most are inside, beyond our ability to reach and heal. Such was the case with the woman we meet in this study. How she approached Jesus and what He did in response speaks to how we desire to be healed of infirmity we cannot see. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 5:1-20 |
The Stonger Man |
Tom Fuller |
|
| As humans we have been taken prisoner by a strong opponent who wants nothing but to destroy us. We see this captivity and torture revealed graphically as Jesus takes on not one but thousands of demons at once. It is a powerful picture of how our ultimate action hero sets us free. But the question is, how will you react to the presence of a truly stronger hero? |

|
|
| Mark 4:21-41 |
Taking The Test |
Tom Fuller |
|
| What happens after you hear the words of Jesus? Is your life different? Today as we study Mark's gospel we see how the Lord gives the disciples an opportunity to test how much the words of Jesus became life in them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 4:1-20 |
Tilling Up The Mind |
Tom Fuller |
|
| How open are you to the words of Jesus? Many of us are so hardened that His words bounce off, for others the past, present and future make our minds unable to process His thoughts. Today we examine the pliability of our minds. |

|
| Mark 3:7-35 |
The Hero's Power, Position, and Person |
Tom Fuller |
|
| When the religious authorities fail in their attempt to trip up Jesus with the Scriptures they descend to character assassination. They come dangerously close to eternal separation from God. How can that happen? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 2:18-3:6 |
The Hero's Hostile Takeover |
Tom Fuller |
|
| When it comes to living life which rules you, law or love? Jesus brought this into sharp focus when it came to healing on the Sabbath and it brings us to confront just who is actually Lord of our lives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 2:1-17 |
Outcasts! |
Tom Fuller |
|
| In Mark 2 we meet two outcasts: a paralyzed man and Levi. Each had a decision to make that mirrors decisions that we as humans must make as well with the presence of Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 1:35-45 |
The Hero's Secret Strength |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Every super hero has a secret strength and a hidden vulnerability. Jesus, the only real superhero, has a strength to help guide Him in every situation and a vulnerability that each of us should possess. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mark 1:14-34 |
The Hero's Authority |
Tom Fuller |
|
| Wanting to do something and actually being able to do it are two entirely different things. Jesus may have been introduced as the ultimate action hero but without action it's just a good sound bite. In this study the hero demonstrates His authority and ability to do anything. |
