The Midweek from Harvest Bible Church

Mark 1:40-45 ESV And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, "I will; be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, sho...

Mark 1:35-39 ESV And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, and they found him and said to him, "Everyone is looking for you." And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out." And he went throu...

Mark 1:29-34 ESV And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demon...

Mark 1:21-28 ESV And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy u...

Mark 1:14-20 ESV Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;repent and believe in the gospel." Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you b...

Mark 1:9-13 ESV In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wil...

Mark 1:1-8 ESV The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'" John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins...

Dig into the background of the Gospel of Mark: why it was written, who Mark was, and what is the Gospel.

1 John 5:16-21 ESV If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, bu...

1 John 5:1-9 ESV Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes t...

1 John 4:13-21 ESV By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides...

1 John 4:1-6 ESV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was...

22  and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.   23  And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.   24  Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, [ a ]  and God [ b ]  in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

18  Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 19  By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;   20  for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.   21  Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

14  We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.   15  Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.   17  But if anyone has the world's goods and...

11  For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.   12  We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.   13  Do not be surprised, brothers, [ a ]  that the world hates you.   14  We know that we have passed out of death into life,...

Join Hugh and Justin as they dig deeper into the text from this past week's sermon. 

28  And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.   29  If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. 3  See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does n...

22  Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.   23  No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.   24  Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.   25  And this...

18  Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.   19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.   20  But you have been anointed by the Holy...

15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.   16  For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life [ a ] —is not from the Father but is from the world.   17  And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

7  Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.   8  At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because [ a ]  the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.   9  Whoever says he is in the light and hates his br...

2  My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.   2  He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.   3  And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.   4  Whoever says "I know him" but does...

5  This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6  If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8  If we say we have no s...
