Conservative Friends Bible Study of Mark #07 Chapter 05 Verse 01 – Chapter 06 Verse 06

In this session, Henry reviews a number of stories about Jesus.  He starts with the story of the possessed man in the country of the Gadarenes and uncovers a bit of humor:  he points out a jibe at the Romans and explains why demons ending up in an outrageous number of pigs might be funny.   The next story is about the woman suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years.   The discussion covers the implications of this woman being unclean and the meaning of faith.  More stories are considered including the healing of the young girl and Jesus returning to his home.   Henry points out that Jesus was more than just a carpenter.  The session concludes with observations about Jesus not being appreciated in his home town.A complete list of our podcasts,  organized into topics, is available on our website.We will be publishing video interviews with Conservative Friends on YouTube.  See our YouTube channel.  The first interview is with Susan Smith. To learn more about Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), please visit  ohioyearlymeeting.org.
