Called, Commissioned, and Listening: The Mark of True Discipleship (Mark 3:31-4:12)

Today, we watch Jesus redefine what it means to belong—to be part of His true family—not by blood, but by obedience. As the crowds press in and tensions rise, Jesus draws a clear line between those who merely hear His words and those who truly listen and follow. From the challenge of spiritual kinship to the mystery of the parables, we’ll unpack one of the most revealing and sobering teachings in all of Mark’s Gospel. Are you ready to lean in, ask the hard questions, and let the Word read you? Let’s go deeper—because Jesus isn’t just speaking to the crowd… He’s speaking to you.
