On Sunday, October 19, 2025, Ron Figgins led a compelling Bible class focused on the Gospel of Mark, exploring its unique perspective and purpose. He emphasized why there are four Gospels, illustrating how each offers a distinct viewpoint on Jesus’ life, tailored to different audiences. Using the analogy of multiple witnesses describing an event differently, Ron highlighted how Mark, likely written for Gentile converts, focuses on Jesus’ actions and miracles rather than genealogies.
The class delved into key miracles from Mark, including the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water, with a comparative look at Matthew’s account of Peter’s bold yet faltering attempt to walk on water. Ron underscored that Jesus’ miracles were designed to build faith, particularly in the disciples, revealing Him as the Son of God and Lord of creation. The lesson concluded with a reflection on personal faith, challenging listeners to consider how they respond to God’s work in their lives and whether they, like Peter, would step out in faith despite doubts.
