This section of Mark is not found in all English versions of the Bible.  Nor is it found in the oldest and what are considered the best manuscripts.  So how should we think about this passage?  Is it Scripture or is it merely an addendum?  Can we trust the words on the page or should we be cautious?  Today I hope we see that we can clearly trust the Word Of God and we more caution for the things we aren't sure about. 

I.   We can trust the Word of God. vs 9-20 

II.  Everything else has to be interpreted in light of God's Word. vs 9-20 

III. Why did Mark end His Gospel so abruptly? vs 9-20
