Who Forgot the Sandwiches?
Jesus and His disciples are in a boat headed across the lake. Jesus had just fed the 4000 with a miracle of creating bread and fish for those who had been with Him. Jesus then says to His disciples let’s get in the boat and go to the other side. While in the boat someone forgot to bring the sandwiches… God was moving in a powerful way and Jesus was teaching some excellent spiritual truth and yet the disciples missed it, because they were focused on the physical.. Someone forgot to bring the sandwiches… Jesus is going to use this opportunity to teach the disciples and us about what is really important.

From Series: "The Gospel of Mark"
The Elders will be teaching through the book of Mark the first Sunday of every month. Marks Gospel is a fantastic book. The Gospel of Mark records many aspects of Jesus’ ministry, but it has no account of his birth. This gospel begins when Jesus is already an adult. Mark portrays Jesus as the suffering servant.
