_________________________________________________
So many people want to read the Bible but don't know how to begin.
It's hard to understand. Things don't make sense.
My plan is to help you change that.
In this series called "Beyond the Words," I'm going to reveal for you the history, context, and other details that will bring scripture to life in an entirely new way, and help you feel like you can understand it as never before.
This week, we're going to look closely at Mark 8. In this chapter, you'll see...
...Jesus reprise a miracle he's already done before.
...Jesus proclaim something about who he is and what he's here to do that would have amazed his Jewish audience.
...and two blind men receive their sight in very different ways!
I'm really excited about this series! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!

![The REAL Reason John the Baptist Was Killed - Mark 6 [Beyond the Words]](/img/n.gif)
Please pray for my son who is 51 years old and has just been diagnosed with Stage 4D2 Prostate Cancer. The numbers they are giving us are not good. But we know that God doesn’t work with our numbers! Please pray for healing for my son!
I’m so sorry. I just prayed for him!
I'll put him on my prayer list!
🙏🙏🙏✝️☝
Hi Kathy I just saw this prayer for your son and it’s been a year now I didn’t realize. I pray that your son is doing well. I am hoping that everything worked out for his good and that this brought you in closer in having a even stronger relationship with the Lord. And that your son has a great testimony, bringing glory to the Lord!! amen and amen!! 🙏🏻☝️💕💕
🙏
I am trying to devote my entire being to Christ. I’m in such a hard, dark place now He is all I feel I have.
Best place to be. Nothing holding you down, a desire for Christ, and in darkness at the bottom so when the light shines it is ever so much more brighter and easier to focus on. You are not alone and are loved by the family of Christ! When we are weak we are strong in Christ (2 Cor 12:10.)
1) Your weakness is not by accident or God's mistake. In your weakness God's strength is made perfect. God takes the material weakness to make strength in your life. 2) There are no great people in God only weak people going to a merciful, powerful God.
🙏🏾
You are not alone. Many walk this same path with you.
Amen
I always tell myself, Who is like God. In times of darkness and great need, God is all I focus on. His grace and mercy never failed me once. He gives me what I need, nothing more nothing less. When He blesses me, I don't waste His blessings. Good luck to you Sir.
"Do you not yet understand?" this sentence saved me from giving up, from falling into despair.
Now I hear, now I can see...
this video came into my life at the right moment. Thank you !
You are such a great teacher, Brandon. I am in Bible study right in my own living room. I am gaining more understanding with each of these vlogs. Thank you.
Brandon is phenomenal. Thk u so much. I love everything about him.
Jesus said that there are two groups of people, one group:"by hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive. " The second group (Jesus' disciples), "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." (Matthew 13:10-35).I've spent thousands of hours studying God's Word and I keep finding something new each time, I'm in love with His Word/Jesus(John 1:1,2) There are so many things misinterpreted in the churches today, ...some will send millions to he'll while they believe they are heaven-bound,...so sad. CLAIM John 16:13 when you read your Bible, you will start see things like NEVER before. Let's stay in prayer that our Spiritual eyes would be opened. amen.
Once you are Born Again, the key to understanding the New Testament/Jesus is found in Matthew 13:34 and 35. It took me years upon years to understand that most of what Jesus said had two fold meanings-not just what appeared at first Glance! Please re-read THIS text and ask the Holy Spirit for clarity. AMEN.
@@juanrivera3969 Yet they only had the old first everything you need to understand was I'm the old which the New is after his first coming we have to be reviblved after 2 days or 2,000 year and in the third day also as a thousand years we will be raised up Hosea 6.
I think the same thing. What an awesome teacher! 🤩 And how wonderful to know that he's being used to minister TRUTH right to our living rooms!
TRUE MAN of GOD! ❤️🎚️✌🏻
Being a Christian my entire life, I thought I knew many things about God. Now I am beginning to see. I am still hungry. Brandon, thank you for providing insight into the stories of the Bible.
Working in health care has been exhausting and there is little time for self. So, your videos have helped me to focus on what I hunger for-God.
Hi Diane, you are making such a great statement, the hunger to know more and more urges me to read and listen and understanding gives me freedom to speak about Jesus where I was always so concerned of saying the wrong things. Thank you Brandon for the bread for me and open my eyes and rejoice. God bless
@@margarethajordaan4549 I agree. I am frustrated with the limited time I have for myself. I can barely keep up with the demands and stress of my career; covid has me working extra hours, plus the continuing education and short staffing is exhausting. My heart aches and longs for Him. I am sad my other commitments are in the way. I pray for forgiveness.
@@PolishDiane bless you all who are serving God in whatever ways you can. Remember our jobs and our families are part of our discipleship. Love and prayers to you who have only little bits of time. May your stress and burdens be lightened. Amen
Binge Jesus….
Hidden Keys of Knowledge will provide what has been stolen from you.
Thank you for this. I’m praying for my kids (Matt, Sarah and Johnny) to see. Thank You Jesus 🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥
You explain the scriptures so clearly Brandon Robbins. I will share your sermons with my family and friends. God bless you and your family abundantly.🙏
This guy definitely has the Blessing from GOD to spread the gospel.
With this videos I’m starting to understand the Bible. Thanks to Jesus that I found this channel.
Thank you for these teachings. This one was particularly timely as I feel like one of the disciples in the boat wondering how Jesus is going to walk me through the same difficult challenges He's walked me through two times before. "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
Hi Brandon from New Zealand. True teachers and believers are few and far between. Really enjoy your teaching
New listener, here. First time commenter, methinks. Thank you. In my 50 years my eyes are still only partially open, but now I know, and am asking God to continue the work He has started in my life, in a new way.
Beautiful, thank you for your commitment to answer the call to follow Him, and repent and believe! You are a treasure...Amen
Much of my life I have been affiliated with a church.
Different denominations at different times and locations.
I have not been to church since Covid. I have been through much spiritually in these last few years.
It is wonderful to have your fresh energy.
You are a very good teacher. I am grateful to have found you and the "Chosen".
Thank you all for these works.
I am praying for things to work out to prosper me. I would be so honored to contribute.
This is such a blessing to me.
This is Ace. I can wake up at 2am,
Whack your channel on, and either go back to sleep, or, feel seriously enlightened.
I think the way you explain Mark is pretty good..
It makes me pick up my Bible.
Not that I need a nudge,
But I think the way you break things down is truly wonderful. So thanks
and God bless you and yours
🙏😊👍
I am in a Bible Study group at my church but I have recently joined a group that is helping me deal with my current struggles. I need to remember that I can't change what I've done in the past. I can only learn from it, move on, remember that God still Loves me despite my mistakes, and He has something bigger planned for me.
Right after I was saved, one of the heavies times of my life, was looking back at my past transgressions through true eyes, at how bad I had acted. It took me a while also to come to a place of acceptance, and to truly appreciate the full scope of "Grace".
Thank you so much for allowing the Holy Spirit to give The Father’s truth through you; this teaching really blessed me. You asked us to tell you how Adonai has us connect with other people. I am a 74 y.o. Messianic Jewish woman and I live in an assisted living facility. Adonai has blessed me to be able to lead/teach a weekly Bible study. We are a small facility and usually there are only 3 (occasionally more) attendees at the Bible study, but I know The Father brings who He wants to come and when and if He wants others to come, He will draw them. Shalom.
What a wonderful and difficult ministry you have been given!
May Adonai bless you, keep you, and strengthen you as you bring His Life to your realm of influence!
Thank you for making the Bible more understandable for me!
Brandon, you are truly anointed with the Spirit of God.Thank you for your faithful ministry. May you continue to be blessed even as you are a blessing to others.
Peter's words are THE TRUTH, "The Son of the Living God"
. The Divine spark that lives in each one of us. Amen, asi sea
We need Jesus in our life with out God you cannot do nothing you are lost
Thank you for giving us God's message in suc and inspirational way. Amen
Matthew 19:14 let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. The double meaning for me is, you must come to me as a child, ready to learn just as an open book. It's not just about the kids, I am to be one of those kids. I must come willing to learn and I am. thank our Lord for his love and patience!
You are the teacher I searched for so many years. Ur words remind me of my father's words. God bless you, your family and your ministry. Amen, asi sea.
Your You Tube Videos are The best " Church " There is ...😊 Amen 🖖👼🙏☯️😇🌐🌈🍀🧡💚💜🦸🦸🦸🌌🐳♒
I agree with everyone that you are a great teacher, giving us how the scriptures in today world what they mean, how we can use the scriptures in our lives today. So wonderful.
Thank you Brandon for the Bible Study. I am so grateful for all this knowledge and unstanding that you share with us. Bless you and your ministry. From New Zealand and Samoa. SHALOM!
I never thought about Peter being blind! What an amazing revelation! I think we all are blind alot sometimes but I absolutely loved this video and love your prayers and next steps! Bless you Brandon!
I am reaching out to help them understand the power of their own healing. God has given us a in built system that repairs itself. May God be praised for his magnificent creation in each one of us, that make up his body.
Thanks Brandon. This video gave me hope. I have done what Peter did; and I feel unworthy of His forgiveness. Yet I am in good company with Peter and all is therefore not lost.
Thank you Brandon for your true teachings. Looking for a true church to worship and belong to and feel loved and be taught in Raleigh NC
I love Jesus
I've just recently discovered you, Brandon! This video has been available for over a year already! I'm learning so much. Thank you.
I enjoy hearing your studies. You're an excellent student, sibling. Much love, many blessings, and good vibes.
Bro Brandon may you be the light and the salt of the world.
Amen 🙏🏿 thank you 🙏🏿 Lord Jesus Christ
You unwrap more from the scriptures, and in a clear presentation. many thanks.
Excellent! I finally understand the connection and meaning of the leaven and Pharisees because of you pointing us to the events that led to this point! Thank you Brandon!
We can use prayer to help each other and work together for the gospel! Prayer is so important and that is why Jesus was going so often to pray to our Father!!
As Advent is always a time to repent, this lesson connects so well. Hope your Advent is full of joy, peace, hope and love. Your Catholic student.
new sight into Mark that I never saw before. Thank you I recently found your channel and I am glad I did. Can we have too many teachers? I think not.
Thank you for your teaching, prayers, and help.
I’ve been sharing your videos with my grandkids. They love The Chosen and they love your videos
And skeptics still argue Jesus was never God or never claimed to be God! Mark is so full of the deity of the Lord Jesus! Thanks Brandon for this amazing teaching
Thank you Brandon for sharing the truth of His word. I find it encouraging and powerful. Thank you 😊
21:39 21:41 21:42 21:42 I need to watch your videos. Your in my head to help me understand. Thank you.Brandon. 🙏🙏🙏 Della W
Well said, Jesus will always feed us in the desert if we only believe and trust.
I was blessed with songs of praise and worship and these are my testimony because I was born with cleft palet condition .surgery in my childhood left me witha heavy nasal accent. I have no training nor knowledge of music vocal or instrumental. Yet in 1975 and since the Almighty Father started to give me lyrics and corresponding tunes.
I shared these songs I churches.posted them on Utube.
But something I had done over 35 years ago was pointed out to me by my husband and I feel so ashamed, repentant, guilty that I just cannot bring myself to do that anymore.
Your videos are so comforting. Thankyou and God bless.
I thank God for leading me to you, Brandon. The way you present the scriptures and give historical perspective to the teachings of Jesus and the Bible resonate with me more than any other source I've known (outside of the Bible, that is). Also, I have watched countless CZcams videos over the years. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to leave a comment.
Hi Brandon - I attend weekly Bible Study with friends from my church. I am also a part of a school of discipleship where we study faith with the objective we can promote Christianity amongst our community and beyond. I am also the secretary to a men's group where we share a Bible reading and our responses to it, how it may affect me or what impact the passage or even only one word may have on each of us. There is space for sadness, tears and deep sharing in a totally secure environment - whats said in the group stays in the group and guys are really open to being very honest and supportive of anyone who is having difficulty with anything, no one is judged or criticised regardless of what they may have done - even alcoholics, druggies or porn addicts, all are welcome and helped to change their life if they want to
we must all become disciples ❤😊
Dear Brandon, thank you very much for your bible-studies! They helped me so much! Daniel 12,3
I ordered the Bible study for Season 1 and I have found it to be very illuminating. I've watched both seasons three times through and tha talong with your teachings has brought me information that I thought I knew from being a Christian my whole life! Having read the Bible already I've found you, and the Biblel study gives me a renewed excitement to go back and really examine the words. Thank you and thank you for everyone that made The Chosen a reality.🙏🕊️
Dear Brandon, thank you so much,this is wonderful.
You're my favorite teacher in Christ.
My study life is awakening. Please pray that my spouse would grow with me. He is a believer but not as fervently as I would have him be. 🙏🏾
Excellent series. I look forward to the other chapters
I was a missionary in Kenya for many years. We got to know tribes in northern Kenya that would bless people by spitting lightly into their hands. It was considered a gift that came from within you. Ever since then I have seen Jesus spitting on the blind man’s eyes differently. It seems not to have caused any offense so I view it with an open mind remembering that other cultures are very different from our own.
Yes, spitting means different things in different cultures. We should not always interpret the Bible according to just our own cultural background.
👍 Love Like Jesus!!!
Amazing! I learn something new about our Lord everyday. Thank you.
I've been following your in-depth teachings for over 3 months & I really appreciate the deeper way you open the eyes of my under standing to things in the Word I never heard B4! I honestly have related to the Apostles & why it was hard for them to know what to do when He tells them things like, "Who is there in the desert that can feed all of these people Jesus?" You asked if we're fine ing ourselves being asked to do something we don't understand why He's asking us to do it? I'm literally in 2 situations where I'm living & in my job that I don't get Why He's saying what He is?! I'm definitely more like Peter than I care to admit. Please Pray for me to not be spiritually blind, but for the eyes of my understand ing to be opened. I will Pray as you encouraged us to do. God bless you 🙏✝️
Just prayed for you, Deborah.
I thank God for you!!! We need you!!!
Mark us highlighting the Eucharistic presence and the universality of Christ church to feed us along our way to the heavenly homeland.
St Ignatius goes into Catholic communities celebrating the Eucharist as early in Christian life.
Like the previous commenter, I also do Bible study in my house. I live in the desert in S. AZ and I have 1 church that speaks Spanish and 1 church that speaks English, but even though I can speak both languages, I don't go to either of them, because of the current plague and because of gas prices, I'm also really shy, but mostly because I don't trust that they are preaching the truth 100%, So I stay home and have Bible study every day with my 6 year old, and I also share my testimony about how I was back slidden.
Here is my testimony:
I got into the occult in my late teens, and was set free, by seeds that were planted by my family and some friends and also by people online like you. I was about ready to give up. My job in California was bought by a new company and moved to Florida. If we wanted our jobs, we would have to move to Florida to re-apply (There was no guarantee that we would get our jobs back after moving at our own expenses.). My mom lived in Indiana and I hadn't seen her in years. I moved back. God had her hire a man from U-ship, to ship my things, including my 3 cats, to Indiana. I planned to fly back. After he had loaded my things into the trailer, he accidentally locked his keys in his trailer. My Dad happened to have a key that would open his lock, because he did lock-smithing as a hobby. Moving was going to give me a fresh start. I had just gotten out of an unhealthy relationship and was never going to date again. I just wanted to be left alone.
God had other plans for me.
At this point I was already 41. No children; because in my 20's, I was like the woman in Matthew 9, who bled for 12 years. That was me. I had PCOS.
I arrived in Waterloo, Indiana. A couple days later, my stuff, along with my 3 cats, arrived in Indiana. It was winter. It was late. The U-ship driver, who happened to be my age didn't have anywhere to sleep and his next destination was 4 hours away, in Kettering, Ohio, where his cousin lived, and where he was planning to settle. He was exhausted. My Mom, being a Christian woman, let him stay the night in the room that was going to be mine, while I slept on Mom's couch.
We unloaded my stuff the next morning and had plenty of time to chat. We learned that we both were single, but didn't want to ever get married. Little did we know that God planted the seeds in both of our hearts. We continued to talk while I lived in Indiana and he in Ohio, and one day he came over and we had a talk about Jesus. He learned that I was into the new age and told me that he would never get involved with a new-ager.
That day, I felt convicted to ask God to forgive me of all of my sins and I promised Him that I would follow the 10 commandments and be a follower of Jesus. I felt new. I said, "Let's build a bonfire" and burn all of my new age stuff to show God that I meant it. I didn't want anyone to stumble because of me (giving or selling those new age things seemed wrong). So he helped me build a bonfire from the brush that I had cleared on my Mom's property and we burned all of the books and tarot cards and runes. Everything.
God rewarded me with a Christian husband who has always been faithful. He is that U-ship man. When I was 43, a year after we were married, I conceived. At the age of 44, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Having children has always been my hearts desire, and I became so bitter that I couldn't. My daughter is about to be 7 on June 6th. God has given me the desires of my heart.
I can't wait to see Him face to face.
I love the prayers you offer for us and often. use them in the school of discipleship, here are the words you spoke in the prayer today
Oh Jesus we come to You right now with humble hearts
We realise that we don’t always see things clearly
That we don’t always understand what You are doing
Or where You are leading us
We admit that we don’t have all the answers, You do
And we ask that You will help us to never stop seeking
Never stop listening for Your Holy Spirit
Help us to hear the truths You want us to hear
Right now
To admit when we are wrong
To embrace what we don’t want to accept
To do what we have no desire to do
To follow wherever You lead
Thank You Lord for the people You have placed around us
For the ways that You are speaking to us
And for loving us enough to do it
Heal us just as You did the man in Bethsaida
Just as You did Peter, that we might see Your face clearly
And follow You truly every day of our lives
Its by Your grace and through Your strength
That we can be truly saved in this way
And so it is in Your name that we pray
Amen
Love these teachings
Hi Brandon, I truly enjoy your teachings of Jesus . In my heart I want so bad to do his will but I feel so ashamed of my shortcomings and can’t seem to brake through. I pray and believe and hope he will forgive me and help me do his will and I can be pleasing before him . I know he died on the cross for all of us and that he is the son of God , and I confess to everyone that he is ( the son of God ) I guess my problem is I don’t have the right faith in myself . I need prayers and help for me to feel excepted. Thank you for anything you an help me . Sherry 🙏🏻
Sherry, check out Romans 8:1. 😊
Hi, Sherry. I want you to know that I just prayed for you, that God might bless you with assurance, and you might feel the grace of Jesus, of which none of us are worthy!
Thanks for the great messages
Love your Channel, the Word connects all...
Thanks so much and stay blessed
thank you Brandon, God bless you!
Thank you, thank you , thank you Brandon.
Thank you as usual for your research and sharing with us!
Please pray that I can actually go to a Bible study or a worship service. My husband and I love in a mountain ridge and most times we can't get up and down the road. God just blessed us with chains so maybe it will get better but my church is too far away so we need a closer one.
I really enjoy what you throw down!
This is enlightening, wow.... thank you MoG.
Always a pleasure in learning from you.
I forgot to mention that even though I am not rich with lots of money, through out my entire life, even through the times when I was a new ager, God never let me starve. I always had what I needed. My Dad and his wife, My Mom and her husband and my husbands family are all Christians. I am surrounded by Christians now. My 6 year old and I have Bible study every day. We NEVER skip it. My Dad and his wife do the same together. Life is so much better now that we have Jesus in our hearts.
I continue to love your vids!! Thx🙌
Thank you Brandon
IN JESUS PRECIOUS NAME AMEN 🙏
I read Mark 8 before watching your video. Then I read along with your explanation in the video. Thank you for your interpretation bc I understand this chapter much better than before. Your prayers & action suggestions are much appreciated. May GOD continue to bless you, as you are a brilliant scholar of the Bible. I continue to look forward to your videos about The Chosen & especially about the Good News of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen & Amen!
Thanks for your teaching.
Praise the Lord! thank you from Brazil.
