Mark 8: Applications For Today
1. Jesus did not use a “social gospel” approach to
evangelism by feeding the people first to get them
interested in the preaching. Jesus taught the people first
and then fed them (8:1-3).
2. Jesus cares. He feels compassion for the needs of
mankind (8:2).
3. Eating should be orderly, with thankfulness and without
waste (8:6-9).
4. A person’s evil character and teaching can slowly
influence a good person for the worse – like leaven
working in a lump of dough (8:15).
5. Let us not be slow to understand what Jesus is telling us
(8:17-21).
6. Do what Jesus says even if it doesn’t make sense to us
(8:26,30).
7. Do not stand in Jesus’ way. Do what God wants, not what
you want (8:32-33).
8. True disciples of Jesus will put Jesus first and be
unashamed of Jesus (8:34-38).

Mark 9: Applications For Today
1. The kingdom of God has already been established with
power (9:1). There will be no future millennial kingdom
on the earth as taught by premillennialists.
2. We must listen to Jesus and Jesus only (9:7-8).
3. For those with a great faith, all things are possible to him
that believes (9:23). (Remember, “all things” means “all
things” within the plan and purpose of God for mankind.)
4. Greatness comes to those who are servants and humble
(9:35-36).
5. Jesus is not promoting denominationalism in Mark 9:3839 as some teach today. Jesus is teaching that one with
authority from Jesus can act even though he is not acting
within a certain group that also has the same authority.
6. Make whatever sacrifice necessary to eliminate whatever
will cause you to stumble and go to hell (9:43-48).
7. Christians need to be seasoned with salt: flavoring,
preserving, and purifying the world around them (9:50).
8. Instead of disputing among brethren (9:34), let there be
peace among brethren (9:50).

Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage: A Summary
Matthew 5:32
You put away (except for fornication), you make her
an adulteress; one who marries her commits adultery
Matthew 19:3-9
let not man put asunder; you put away (except for
fornication) and marry another you commit adultery;
one who marries her commits adultery
Mark 10:2-12
let not man put asunder; You put away wife and marry
another you commit adultery against her; you put
away your husband and marry another you commit
adultery
Luke 16:18
You put away your wife and marry another you commit
adultery; one who marries her commits adultery
Romans 7:2-3
wife and husband are bound as long as each one
lives; death releases you from the marriage bond; if
you are joined to another while your first husband lives
you will be called an adulteress
1 Corinthians 7:1016,27,39
do not depart; if you do, remain unmarried or be
reconciled; if unbeliever departs let him, you are
not under bondage; are you bound in marriage, seek
not to be loosed; the wife is bound in marriage as long
as her husband lives; if dead marry only in the Lord
See also: Genesis 2:18-24; Malachi 2:14-15; Ephesians 5:21-33; Hebrews 13:4
Mark 10: Applications For Today
1. Marriage should always be taken seriously. It is a
commitment for life that must not be broken (10:9).
2. A humble, obedient, genuine (innocent), child-like
faith is required of all disciples of Jesus (10:15).
3. True love shows itself by telling someone who is
wrong what they need to do to change (10:21;
Rev. 3:19).
4. “Treasures in heaven” are more valuable than “great
possessions” on earth (10:21-22).
5. Trusting in riches rather than trusting in God will
keep us out of heaven (10:24).
6. It is worth following Jesus no matter what we have
to give up to do it (10:28-31).
7. True greatness starts with service (10:43-45).
8. Don’t let anyone stop you from getting to Jesus
(10:48).

Mark 11: Applications For Today
1. If we have something the Lord needs (such as our
time and talents), we must let him use it for his
service (11:3).
2. Jesus expects to find us bearing fruit in our lives
(11:12-14).
3. We must remember the purpose of God’s house. It is
a place of worship, not of worldliness (11:17).
4. Faith and doubt have no place together (11:22-24).
5. Forgive others in order to be forgiven yourself
(11:25-26).
6. We must have authority for what we do in religion
and our authority must come from God, not from
men (11:27-33).
7. Jesus used a method of teaching that involved
answering a question with a question. Also, Jesus
chose not to answer a question when the ones asking
it were insincere (11:29-30).

Mark 12: Applications For Today
1. When you reject the blessings of Jesus, he will turn and give those
blessing to others who want them (12:9). You can reject Jesus, but he
will still be the head of the church (12:10-11).
2. We must obey man’s law and we must obey God’s law (12:17).
However, when man’s law is in conflict with God’s law, we must follow
God’s law over man’s law (Acts 5:29).
3. We make great religious errors when we are ignorant of the scriptures
and the power of God (12:24,27).
4. Our soul lives on after our body dies (12:27). All the dead will be raised
in the judgment day (12:25-26). If you die before the Lord comes, will
you be raised to the resurrection of life or to the resurrection of
judgment (Jn. 5:28-29)?
5. Jesus was not teaching that some of God’s commandments can be
ignored. He was teaching that all of our important responsibilities in life
revolve around two great principles: (1) loving God with all of our
being, and (2) loving our neighbor as we would want to be loved
(12:29-33).
6. Jesus is not just a man, he is Lord God (12:36-37).
7. Proud people refuse to hear Jesus, but humble people will gladly listen
to him (12:37).
8. Our religious service to the Lord should be genuine and not for show. It
should bring attention to God, not to self (12:38-40).
9. God looks at the amount of sacrifice in the giving, not the amount itself
(12:41-44)?

Mark 13: Applications For Today
1. The Lord said “take heed” and forewarned of the
dangers that lie ahead in life. To be forewarned is
to be forearmed (13:5,9,23).
2. Christians will be greatly reward when they are
persecuted for the Lord’s sake and when they
endure such persecution (13:9-13).
3. The Lord expects us to understand what we read
in his word (13:14).
4. Don’t follow deceivers and false Christs even
though they look like the truth (13:5-6,21-22).
5. The Lord’s word always comes to pass (13:31).
6. We need to be working and watching while waiting
for the Lord to return (13:33-37).

Mark 14: Applications For Today
1. Jesus is our Passover (14:1-2; 1 Cor. 5:7).
2. Those who make great sacrifices for the Lord (14:3,5) and do what they can for
the Lord (14:8) will be remembered and rewarded (14:9).
3. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Don’t make bargains with the
world which conveniently serve your own selfish desires (14:10-11).
4. When it comes to those in the church who trouble the Lord, we would do well to
ask, “Is it I?” (14:19)?
5. Without a memorial we tend to forget and not appreciate the sacrifice that was
made for us. We must always remember the body and blood sacrifice of Jesus
(14:22-25)?
6. Before making a promise ask yourself, “Should I keep this? Can I keep this? Will I
keep this?” (14:31).
7. Jesus prayed the prayer of submissive obedience while the disciples were to pray
the prayer of vigilance (14:35-39). Both of these prayers are needed in our life
today.
8. Watching and praying will keep us from falling into temptation (14:38).
9. Denying Jesus can come by taking slow gradual steps away from him (14:37-38,
54, 66ff). If we deny the Lord today, he will deny us in the last day (14:66-71).
10. We do not defend Jesus and his honor by fighting a literal battle (14:47).
11. Don’t make Jesus say something he didn’t say (14:57-58).
12. Thinking about the words of Jesus in the Bible can cause one to have regret
(14:72).

Words
Time
Lesson
“Father forgive them…”
Third Hour
( 9:00 AM )
“Today thou shalt be
with me in Paradise”
“Behold thy son …
behold thy mother”
God loves mankind and
seeks to forgive
There is a reward in the
afterlife for the faithful
Sixth Hour
( 12:00 PM )
Jesus cared about his
earthly family
“My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken…”
God cannot be in the
presence of sin
“I thirst”
Jesus was fully human
“It is finished”
God’s plan for saving
mankind is complete
“Father into thy hands I
commit my spirit”
Ninth Hour
( 3:00 PM )
Jesus always did the
will of his Father
Mark 15: Applications For Today
1. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords (15:2,12,26).
2. Jesus was tortured emotionally and physically before even going to
the cross (15:15-20). May we never forget the great sacrifice of
Jesus on our behalf!
3. What will you do with Jesus (15:15)? Do not be weak like Pilate!
4. It is possible for some to pretend to worship and honor Jesus
(15:19).
5. Must Jesus bear his cross alone (15:21)? We must bear the cross of
Jesus (Heb. 13:13).
6. Jesus was crucified to save mankind from sin. What was said as a
mock, “He saved others…,” was actually the truth (15:31).
7. Jesus’ death gave all mankind access to God (15:38; Heb. 9:7-8,24;
10:19-21).
8. Truth often comes from those whom you would least expect (15:39).
9. Like Joseph of Arimathaea, we need to have boldness and courage to
identify ourselves as followers of Christ (15:43).

Mark 16: Applications For Today
1. We are expected to believe the eyewitness testimony of the
resurrection of Jesus (16:11,13,14).
2. The “Great Commission” is still for us today. Let us continue
to take the gospel into all the world (16:15).
3. The choice is simple: believe the gospel and receive
salvation or disbelieve the gospel and receive condemnation
(16:16).
4. Belief coupled with baptism is necessary for salvation
(16:16). This is confirmed in the book of Acts where the
apostles carried out the “Great Commission” (note the belief
and baptism in these passages Acts 8:13; 8:37-38; 16:3133; 18:8).
5. We must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ as he rules
and reigns at the right hand of God (16:19; Eph. 1:20-23).
6. God’s word has been confirmed as true by miraculous signs
(16:20; Heb. 2:3-4).
