Mark 8:11-9:1

Jul 6, 2025    Mitch Green

We all have expectations of how God should work in our lives—but what if we’re missing Him entirely? In this message from Mark 8:11–9:1, Pastor Mitch walks us through five different responses to Jesus: from the curious crowd to the demanding Pharisees, from the confused disciples to the gradually healed blind man, and finally, to Peter’s declaration of faith. Each encounter reveals something profound about spiritual blindness—and how Jesus meets us in the middle of it.


The big question: How do you see Jesus?


And perhaps even more importantly: How will you respond?


📖 Open your Bible to Mark 8 and join us as we discover:

– Why some people seek signs but miss the Savior

– How even disciples can misunderstand God's work

– The beauty of gradual spiritual clarity

– The cost—and reward—of following Jesus fully


Jesus ends this passage with a powerful invitation:

“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
