| 0:00.0 | Why do challenges, hurt, discomfort, and hostility exist? Why can't we live a tranquil, easy, worry-free life? |
| 0:09.6 | Well, today on Living on the Edge, we'll look at how Jesus responded to the first significant |
| 0:14.1 | conflict of his earthly ministry and what we can learn from his example. I'm Dave Drewie, |
| 0:19.8 | and I'm so glad you're with us as we continue |
| 0:21.6 | our series, The Road to Calvary. Now, we're only on day three of our journey through the Gospel |
| 0:27.1 | of Mark, but I hope you've been blessed by it so far, and let me encourage you to invite others |
| 0:31.8 | to listen as well, either through the Chip Ingram app or at Living on theedge.org. |
| 0:42.6 | Well, Chip has a lot to share today, so let's join him now in Mark Chapter 2 for his talk, |

| 1:18.0 | and wonderful. |
| 1:19.6 | And when Jesus was recruiting his early followers, one of the first things he does is he takes |
| 1:24.7 | him into seasons of opposition. And I talked in the first time we got together on day one |
| 1:31.1 | about authentic Christianity, an authentic relationship with Jesus. We all have a warped view of who |
| 1:40.4 | our Lord really is to some degree. And so all this journey that we have in life, |
| 1:45.4 | and the reason we get into God's Word |
| 1:47.1 | and need to be in fellowships of the Jesus living in fellow believers |
