“Fill your Cup” with Bible study! The Tuesday night Bible study will be led by Dr. Kinny Cosner and Bill Wilkin, using Amy-Jill Levine’s book The Gospel of Mark: A Beginner’s Guide to the Good News and the accompanying videos. As the earliest Gospel written, most scholars agree that Mark was used as source material for the other three. But when people list their favorite Gospel, Mark is rarely picked. This study will take us through Mark’s gospel chapter by chapter. As always, Dr. Levine is insightful with her work and opens up Mark in ways many of us may never have considered. Whether this is your first time studying Mark or it is a repeat study for you, Dr. Levine makes the case for all of us to read the text again and again, stating, “The text is inexhaustible in meaning.”  Each session includes a video, discussion of the scripture and the study book, fellowship, and prayer.

The Gospel of Mark: A Beginner’s Guide to the Good News by Amy-Jill Levine can be purchased from Cokesbury or Amazon.
