Mark 16

But if you don't ever step out in faith and pray for folks, you'll not see anyone healed.

In Mark 16, verse 17 and 18, really in his Great Commission version, he says, and these signs will accompany those who believe.

Jesus says, in my name, they will drive out demons.

They will speak in new tongues.

For God was with him.

Mark 16 and verse 20.

Mark chapter 16 and verse 20.

And they went forth, are you learning? And preached everywhere.

For God was with him.

Mark 16 and verse 20.

Mark chapter 16 and verse 20.

And they went forth, are you learning? And preached everywhere.

Hope... gives you a different picture of your future, and the next step, it's going to demand an answer.

The next question you would ask is, how? Is that making sense so far? All right, so for instance, in Mark 16, it says, these signs shall follow them that believe.

And it goes on, you know, they'll lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, et cetera, et cetera.

These signs, the sign is not faith.

So this is the passage we're talking about today.

Mark 16, 19, 20 is another one that I love talking about, but this is today's focus.

How the passage about the adulteress was lost.

That is John 7, 53 through 8, 11.

Should it be in the Bible? Should it be removed? We're dialoguing today with James and we're talking all things Bible related.

Before the break, the brother Gary 2.0 asks, what do you think, James? Do you think baptism causes some to maybe leave this verse out? What do you think?

He's probably talking about Mark 16.

That's right, the

So here we go.

I'm going to start by reading a scripture, and it's Mark 16, and I am going to begin reading in verse 14, just for fun, because this is the commissioning of the disciples before Jesus ascended.

It said, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

So, Lord, we just thank you that as we are going through this teaching time, that any place in our lives where our hearts might be hardened, where there might be unbelief, Holy Spirit, I thank you that you come, that you touch our hearts, that we will come out of any and all hardness of heart and unbelief.

All right.

I wasn't even going to teach on that, but I just wanted to give a praise report before I kept going through this teaching of how our strongholds established.

Now we landed on Mark 16, 17.

These signs will accompany those who believe.

It's three days later that this happens.

Mark 16, 1.

Days after the Sabbath, when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary and the mother of James and Salome, went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus' body.

And very early, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.

Do you believe in Jesus? It says that we are saved by grace and through faith.

So those who believe and are baptized will be saved, Mark 16.

John 3, 16 says, God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him.

So if I would ask, do you believe in Jesus? You'd say, yeah, I'm not an atheist.
