Mark 3-4

• Even the uncleaned spirit acknowledged Jesus is the son of God (3:11)
• Appointing the Apostles (v14-19)
• Jesus rebukes why the logic of Jesus being part of Satan to rid unclean spirits is flawed (v22-26)
• "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" (v28-29)
• What is blasphemy against Holy Spirit?
• For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother." We are all part of God's one family (v35)

And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

-- Mark 4:18-19

• There are those who do not bear fruit, who enjoy God's word but also still get attached to the earthly desires, failing to spread God's word beyond to other people.
• We are the light of the world, so we should serve our purpose and do what we are supposed to do (v21)
• They are already with the Lord, who could they perish? (v38) Even the apostles are learning to live in faith.
