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.
- Mark: A 12-Week Study in the Knowing the Bible series by Dane C. Ortlund

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
