By Steve Flowers and Jordan Flowers
In this 3rd installment of the periodic series studying through The Gospel of Mark, Steve and Jordan discuss the five conflict stories in Mark 1:40-3:12. They reflect on the scripture, including where we might be picking a similar fight with Jesus by not recognizing who He really is and when someone criticizes the way we live a Christ-shaped life, we should try to turn that into a teachable moment like Jesus does instead of escalating the heat.
