$ Preaching or Teaching from Mark’s Gospel (BeADisciple.com)
September 23 All day
Course Dates:
September 23 – October 4, 2024
Mark’s gospel is unique and sometimes surprising, and reminds us that context is important. This course is for preachers and teachers in churches, especially those relatively new to these tasks. Participants will do a disciplined reading of Mark using a study Bible and will make preliminary preparations for sermons or lesson plans using assigned passages (but not completed sermons or lesson plans). The use of the study Bible will give you valuable practice in accessing this tool for sermon or lesson plan preparation.
Learners will need to obtain: CEB Study Bible portion for Mark (free download, https://www.commonenglishbible.com/files/uploads/CEBStudyBibleSampler.pdf)
On the first Monday participants will have asynchronous access to basic housekeeping tasks and to a link to download the study Bible portion. On the first Tuesday evening, September 24 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm EST there will be a required three-hour Zoom session in which we will begin our guided reading of Mark, using the study Bible portion. We will begin to do the kinds of hermeneutical work that we’ll continue in Blackboard with daily assignments for the rest of the course.” The Zoom session will not be recorded. The course continues through a second week. Participants will write sermon descriptions or lesson plans in response to Discussion Board assignments.
This course is eligible for 1.0 CEU.
