In this week’s An Apprenticeship to Jesus podcast, we dive into Mark 6, a chapter full of lessons on faith, miracles, and discipleship. From Jesus facing rejection in His hometown to feeding thousands and walking on water, this passage reveals His compassion, power, and call to follow Him in trust.

1. Rejection in Nazareth

Mark 6 begins with Jesus returning home, only to be met with doubt and offense. This reminds us that faith is often tested in familiar places and that unbelief can limit what God does in our lives.

2. Sending Out the Twelve

Jesus sends His disciples in pairs, giving them authority over evil spirits and instructing them to depend on God’s provision. This is a model for mission work and everyday discipleship.

3. The Death of John the Baptist

John’s courage in confronting sin cost him his life. His example challenges us to stand for truth, even when it’s unpopular or dangerous.

4. Feeding the 5,000

With just five loaves and two fish, Jesus feeds a massive crowd. This miracle shows His compassion and power to provide abundantly — even when resources seem insufficient.

5. Walking on Water

In the middle of a storm, Jesus walks toward His disciples, calming their fears and the wind itself. This is a vivid reminder that Christ meets us in our struggles and invites us to trust Him.

Key Takeaways:

Faith opens the door to God’s work.
Jesus equips and sends His followers with authority.
God’s provision is abundant and timely.
Christ is present in both calm and storm.
