Following Jesus Into Ministry

Sermon Scripture:  Mark 1:29-39

1.  Jesus gathers to meet with His Disciples

• At the Synagogue
• In their homes
• Continues after the resurrection and ascension. Acts 2:46 (temple courts and homes), Acts 21:26 (Paul in the Jerusalem Temple)

​2.  Jesus leads his Disciples to minister to People

• The physical needs of the sick.
• The spiritual needs of the demon possessed!
• The people who would respond!

          a)  Poor
          b)  Women
          c)  Spiritually Unclean people
3.  Jesus leaves his Disciples to prepare for further ministry to people!

• Solitude is sometimes needed
• Early and dark
• Alone he prayed
• Returned to preach
• People missed him!

​4.  Jesus launches from His retreat into His Preaching ministry with the Disciples!

• Proclamation was primary!
• Proclamation was not solitary!
