Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In our in-depth Bible study on Mark 2:18-22, we explore Jesus’ first parable about patches, wineskins, and the transformative power of the Gospel. This sermon dives into the Gospel of Mark, the earliest written gospel (circa early 60s AD), closely tied to Peter’s eyewitness account. Join us as we unpack the profound theological themes and practical applications of this passage, perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Jesus’ teachings and the New Covenant.

What You’ll Learn:
1. Verse-by-Verse Exegesis: A detailed breakdown of Mark 2:15-22, including the cultural and historical context of tax collectors like Levi (Matthew), who were despised, ostracized, and considered religiously unclean in Jesus’ time.

2. Jesus’ First Parable: The analogies of the unshrunk cloth and new wineskins, illustrating the incompatibility of the Gospel with rigid, legalistic religious systems.

3. Theological Themes: The inauguration of the new covenant through Jesus, the Bridegroom, the dynamic, transformative nature of the gospel as “new wine,” and the contrast between law and grace, emphasizing spiritual regeneration over religious renovation

4. Practical Applications: How to live out the gospel in personal spiritual growth, church practices, and evangelism without clinging to “old wineskins” of legalism.

5. Discussion Questions: Thought-provoking prompts to reflect on distinguishing helpful traditions from rigid legalism, embracing Christian joy, and sharing the gospel boldly.

This Teaching Is Ideal For:
• Bible Study Enthusiasts: Gain a deeper understanding of Mark’s Gospel and its Jewish roots.

• Christians Seeking Growth: Learn how to embrace the transformative power of the gospel in your spiritual life.

• Church Leaders: Discover how to adapt church practices to reflect the dynamic nature of the gospel while preserving its unchanging truth.

• Anyone Curious About Jesus’ Teachings: Explore how Jesus’ presence as the Bridegroom changes everything, from religious duty to joyful celebration.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
