In this episode of Help Me Teach the Bible I went to Columbia, South Carolina, to sit down with Derek Thomas and ask his help for teaching through the book of Mark. Over the course of the conversation we discussed:
- the miracle stories and how to apply them
- the kingdom of God
- true repentance
- what it means to be a disciple
Here are some additional audio resources you may find helpful in preparing to teach Mark:
- Sermons on the book of Mark by Derek Thomas
- Sermons on the book of Mark by Kevin DeYoung
- Sermon series on the book of Mark from Holy Trinity Church
- TGC sermon resources on Mark
For further study, here are some books you may find helpful, including titles from Crossway, the sponsor of Help Me Teach the Bible:
- Let’s Study Mark by Sinclair Ferguson
- The Gospel According to Mark in Pillar New Testament Commentary by James R. Edwards, Jr.
