#39 - Sea Of Galilee (pt 3) - Mark 5:1 - the"driven-out ones" - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

This week we continue our look at the Sea of Galilee. Today we will look at the story where Jesus calms the storms but from Mark 4:35-41 and connect this telling to Psalm 107.

We also begin to look at the next part of the story (Mark 5:1-20) where Jesus goes across the lake to heal a demon-possessed man. Mark calls this the region of the Gerasenes. We will tackle the difficulties of this word and offer one solution.Fig Tree Ministries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
