In Mark chapter 6, we see Jesus move through rejection, miracles, exhaustion, and compassion — yet right in the middle of the chaos, He invites His disciples to pause and rest:
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” — Mark 6:31In this Bible study, we’ll walk through the powerful moments of this chapter — from Jesus being rejected in His hometown, to the sending of the Twelve, John the Baptist’s death, the feeding of the five thousand, and Jesus walking on water. Through it all, we’ll uncover what it means to truly rest in Him, even when life feels busy, uncertain, or overwhelming.
Let this time in Scripture remind you that Jesus not only calls us to serve, but also to slow down and find peace in His presence.
🌿 In this video, we’ll cover:
Why Jesus was rejected in Nazareth
The mission of the disciples
What John the Baptist’s story reveals about faith and courage
The miracle of the loaves and fishes
How Jesus meets us in our storms
The deeper meaning behind His invitation to rest
Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let’s rest in God’s Word together.
