Show Notes

John Mark is originally recruited by Paul and Barnabas to go on missions with them, but he deserts them and quit during the first missionary journey. Later, Barnabas, Mark’s cousin, wants to give the young man a second chance, wanting to take him on the second missionary journey but Paul disagrees. Paul does not believe Mark has what it takes. So, they end up parting ways. But both Barnabas and Peter believe in Mark and mentor him. As a result, he writes the Gospel that bears his name. What a lesson on not giving up on someone! Scriptures referenced include Acts 12:12; Acts 13:5; Acts 15:36-41; Philemon 1:24; 2 Timothy 4:11; Colossians 4:10; 1 Peter 5:13; Mark 10:27; Mark 16:15; Mark 10:46-51; Mark 14:51–52; Matthew 5:13; and John 15:1-6.
