Good Morning Jesus Watchers,today we dive into Mark 13.Here Jesus instructs the Disciples as to what will happen regarding the temple and Rome, their persecution, and really all things.  Interestingly, just 40 years later these temple prophesies were fulfilled.  Yet another prophetic proof of the trustworthiness of The Word of God.  No matter what position you take regarding “End Times Prophecy”, ...  Read More

Good Morning Givers of Everything, today - Mark 12Jesus came to His own but was rejected by them.  Quoting Psalm 118 He puts the exclamation point on The Parable of the Tenants. “Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’ ?””‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬We should love Him with a...  Read More

Good Morning Mountain Movers today we are in Mark 11.  Who do you say He is?  The disciples were asked this question back in Mark 8.  Peter responded by saying that He was the Christ, Messiah - yet rebuked Jesus right after that as He explained His impending suffering.  They understood He was the Messiah but hung on to their idea of what that meant.  Mark 11 opens with the Triumphal Entry into Jer...  Read More

Good Morning grown up little children.  Today we are in Mark 10.  “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tell me so”!  Little children hear and believe, that’s it.  As children they have not yet been poisoned by the yeast of the Pharisees.  To put it in terms we understand, they have not been corrupted by the worlds alternative way of thinking - so, they just believe.  The older we get, the mo...  Read More

Good Morning No Doubt Followers.  Mark 9 is really a continuation of Mark 8.  Jesus continues to show His followers who He truly is.  In Mark 8 we learned that although they “saw” Him, they did not “see” Him clearly.  They believed He was the Messiah and knew what that meant but were still confused about the cross.  They had been given the power to cast our demons but at times doubted and failed. ...  Read More

Good Morning “Self Deniers”, today we dive into Mark 8.  The Pharisees wanted to see a sign that Jesus really was who He claimed to be?  A sign?  You mean like raising the dead, or healing the lame, blind, deaf, mute, casing out demons left and right… or how about controlling the weather?  No specific sign will be given.  Maybe Jesus was saying - pay attention.  The signs you ask for are all aroun...  Read More

Good Morning Humble Christ Imitators. Matt 7.  It’s easy to get hung up on religious practices.  Because we are sinners we daily experience conviction from the Holy Spirit.  It seems we can somewhat quiet the voice of conviction by “doing” things that make us “feel” spiritual.  Things that make us “feel” obedient - make us “feel” ok, despite our unrepentant sin or hard hearts.Even things like pray...  Read More

Good Morning soft heart receivers  of the things of Jesus.   This morning we dig into Mark 6.What did those closest to Jesus, the religious leaders, and even the disciples have in common?  They just didn’t get it!  Even after watching Jesus perform many miracles, cast out demons, calm the fierce storm in Mark 3,  even feeding thousands with five loaves and 2 fish and picking up leftovers - they st...  Read More

Good Morning Demon Slayers.  Why do I say that?  Dive in to Mark 5 to see!Satan has been wreaking havoc.  But, now, Jesus is on the scene and taking over in big ways!  All of Jesus teaching and ministry served to do more than just love on and teach the Disciples and other followers.  He was putting Satan on notice.  He was making a definitive BOLD statement!  If we look back a bit to Mark 4:35, we...  Read More

Good Morning forgiven sinners.  Jump into Mark 3 today, and soak it up.  Is there any limit to the Mercy and Grace of our God through the blood of Jesus?  Is there any particular sin, or amount of sin that is unforgivable?  We read about one sin here in Mark.  Check it out:“Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy...  Read More

Good Morning mat lowerers.  What does that mean?  You’ll see - read on in Mark 2.Everywhere Jesus went, a mob gathered and followed.  Some, religious leaders seeking to trip Him up.  Some, seekers wondering what it was all about.  Some, straight up already convinced looking to soak up some of what Jesus was laying down and some, with Faith so strong they were looking to get healed or find healing ...  Read More
