Study 5 From The Book of Mark is: Mark 3:7-19a
1.
At this stage in His ministry, what obvious
dangers and what positive desires made Jesus withdraw and go up into the hills?

sent on a mission’). What kind of response did each calling demand? Can we
become one without becoming the other? How far have you got in this sequence?
