Christ came to set God"s people free from disobedience, disease, and death -- and each of the miracle events was not a "faith-healing" but rather a battle won, in which Jesus provided a cure from something for something. That"s the compelling theme of this fascinating study of ten miracle stories from the Gospel of Mark featured in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Whether you"re a busy pastor, church school teacher, discussion leader, or just an interested Bible student, There Are Demons In The Sea offers valuable and superbly organized background information -- Hoefler"s scholarship, perceptive insight, and potent illustrative material make this volume an invaluable aid to preaching preparation or scriptural study. Chapter titles include: * The Gordian Knot - Mark 1:21-28 * The Miracle Of Forgiveness - Mark 2:1-12 * There Are Demons In The Sea - Mark 4:35-41 * The Good Grocer - Mark 6:30-44 * An Exile Of Silence Set Free - Mark 7:31-37 ... and more!
