Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Noftsinger from Roanoke, VA. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. This one's for you today. Our text today is Mark 16:12-14: After these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them. Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. — Mark 16:12-14 Two disciples walk along a dusty road, their hearts heavy with grief. A stranger joins them, yet they fail to recognize Jesus. Later, their excitement spills out as they report the encounter to the others—only to be met with doubt. That evening, around a familiar table, Jesus stands among the eleven and gently rebukes their unbelief. God's power isn't limited to the sights we demand. He meets us in unexpected ways to stretch our faith. Yet our hardened hearts often cling to proof over promise. When Jesus rebukes our doubt, he invites us to trust the faithful witnesses share. In everyday life, we often wait for grand miracles before we step forward. At work, we ignore a colleague's sound advice because we need more evidence. In a family, we question a friend's good intentions, looking only for what we can prove. In our spiritual walk, we often dismiss the testimonies of those who have experienced God's power firsthand. But real faith is not passive; it's action on the word of trusted witnesses. Faith in motion means obeying before we have every detail—leaning into what we've heard, not just what we've seen. When we choose to trust the voices God uses, we open ourselves to deeper encounters with him. So live with more faith today. ASK THIS: Have you ever ignored someone's story of God's work because it didn't match your expectations? What doubts keep you from accepting what fellow believers share? How does Jesus' gentle rebuke challenge your need for constant proof? In what area of your life can you choose to trust what you've heard, even without seeing it yourself? DO THIS: Reach out today to a friend who has shared a testimony of God's faithfulness—listen carefully, thank them, and ask how you can pray for them. PRAY THIS: Lord, soften my heart to receive truth from those you use as your messengers. Help me to trust and obey, even when I haven't seen every proof. PLAY THIS: "Cornerstone."

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

In this episode we cover the subject of the hardening of sinners' hearts...and that done by God. This is something that makes Christians uncomfortable, and has resulted in attempts to try to "sanitize" what the pages of Scripture say. But our concern is with dealing with what the Bible truly says, and taking it at face value. So how are we to understand this? That's what we will attempt to do as we continue our look at the Gospel of John, and specifically John 12.   Order a copy of my book: Signs of the End: Barnes & Noble:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/signs-of-the-end-steve-gill/1139981224 Amazon: https://amzn.to/3iDuwiA   LTS Website: https://www.lovingthescriptures.com/   Music: http://www.purple-planet.com    

Text: Mark 6:45-52  A lesson from our adult Sunday school class through the book of Mark 

Want of readiness to receive divine impressions from the word of God. When the heart is soft and tender, it is also humble and contrite, and ready to tremble at the word of God. So it is said of Josiah that "his heart was tender," and "he humbled himself before the LORD," when he heard his word, 2 Kings 22:18,19. This may be wanting in some in a great measure, and they may be sensible of it. They may find in themselves a great unreadiness to comply with divine warnings, reproofs, calls.

This is message 11 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 9:8-10:4 Isaiah's Oracle against the Northern Kingdom of Israel highlights the consequences of pride, rebellion, and unrepentant sin. Despite God's repeated chastisements, Israel refused correction, leading to comprehensive judgment upon its leaders, people, and society. Their wickedness spread like fire, consuming them with internal strife and destruction. Through the refrain, "For all this His anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still," God's persistent judgment serves as a warning to Judah and a reminder that no one can escape divine accountability.

Read OnlineThen he said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. Mark 3:4–5Sin damages our relationship with God. But hardness of heart is even more damaging because it perpetuates the damage done by sin. And the harder one's heart, the more permanent the damage.In the passage above, Jesus was angry with the Pharisees. Oftentimes the passion of anger is sinful, resulting from impatience and a lack of charity. But at other times, the passion of anger can be good when it is motivated by love of others and hatred for their sin. In this case, Jesus was grieved by the hardness of heart of the Pharisees, and that grief motivated His holy anger. His “holy” anger did not cause irrational criticism; rather, it drove Jesus to cure this man in the presence of the Pharisees so that they would soften their hearts and believe in Jesus. Sadly, it didn't work. The very next line of the Gospel says, “The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death” (Mark 3:6).Hardness of heart should be greatly avoided. The problem is that those who are hard of heart are usually not open to the fact that they are hard of heart. They are obstinate and stubborn, and oftentimes self-righteous. Therefore, when people suffer from this spiritual ailment, it is difficult for them to change, especially when confronted.This Gospel passage offers you an important opportunity to look into your own heart with honesty. Only you and God need to be part of that interior introspection and conversation. Begin by reflecting upon the Pharisees and the poor example they set. From there, try to look at yourself with great honesty. Are you obstinate? Are you hardened in your convictions to the point that you are unwilling to even consider that you may be wrong at times? Are there people in your life with whom you have entered into a conflict that still remains? If any of this rings true, then you may indeed suffer from the spiritual ill of a hardened heart. Reflect, today, upon your own soul and your relationships with others with as much honesty as possible. Do not hesitate to let your guard down and be open to what God may want to say to you. And if you detect even the slightest tendency toward a hardened and stubborn heart, beg our Lord to enter in to soften it. Change like this is difficult, but the rewards of such a change are incalculable. Do not hesitate and do not wait. Change is worth it in the end. My loving Lord, this day I open myself to an examination of my own heart and pray that You will help me to always be open to change when necessary. Help me, especially, to see any hardness I may have within my heart. Help me to overcome any obstinacy, stubbornness and self-righteousness. Give me the gift of humility, dear Lord, so that my heart can become more like Yours. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Text: Mark 3:1-6  A lesson from our adult Sunday school class through the book of Mark 

Jesus was grieved and angered by the hardness of heart he saw in a group Pharisees. Looking at that example as well as other Bible text brings home the reality of the dangers that threaten our own heart condition toward the Lord.

Here is the sermon outline: Moses on Divorce (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) Jesus on Divorce (Matthew 19:1-10) Paul on Divorce (1 Corinthians 7:15) You can watch this message here.

Pride and hardness of heart go hand in hand. Pride is the enemy of humility. And pride ??? pride stops us from laying hold of God???s wisdom, which causes us pain and in turn, hardens our hearts. It???s a vicious, vicious circle.

This is message 3 in The Seven Churches of Revelation. Revelation 2:1-7 addresses the church of Ephesus, praising their hard work and doctrinal integrity but reproving them for losing their initial love for Christ. Their service had become routine and lacked heartfelt devotion. Christ warns them to revive their love for Him, emphasizing that true Christian service must be rooted in a passionate relationship with the Lord, or they risk losing their spiritual influence.

I struggle the same way everyone else does. In this episode, I hope to shed some light on some of the ways hardness of heart creeps in. I share personal stories about different times when I felt God correcting my hard-heartness and pushing me toward compassion, obedience, humility, and forgiveness.
