The Pace of Jesus (Mark 5:21-43) || Sean Robinson
This week we continue with Mark Chapter 10. For the last couple chapters, Jesus has been traveling with his disciples on their way to Jerusalem for the Passover and ultimately for the big confrontation with the powers that will culminate in his death as he unpacks for his followers what it means for him to be the Messiah. Last week we covered the transfiguration, a story about Jesus healing a demon-possessed boy and a number of teachings from Jesus about the nature of the upside-down value system of the Kingdom. This week Jesus takes his last few steps before his triumphant entry into Jerusalem as he confronts more misconceptions about him and his kingdom from the Pharisees, a rich man, and his followers.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Visit the website and purchase the Scripture Journal for this study so that you can follow along with us. I am giving a shout-out today to Rock Woods from Roseburg, OR. Thank you for being a monthly partner in Project23 and helping us share the Gospel with millions as we work our way through the entire Bible. Today, we're looking at Mark 2:15-17: And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” — Mark 2:15-17 Jesus didn't come for the perfect. He came for the broken. While the religious elite judged from a distance, Jesus pulled up a chair—shared a meal with people everyone else wrote off. He didn't dodge messy lives. He walked straight into them. When the Pharisees complained, Jesus shut it down with one bold line: “Those who are well don't need a physician—only the sick do. I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners.” He wasn't excusing a sinner's sin. He was calling them out of it. But first, he met them where they were—over a table, in real conversation, starting with grace and leading to a challenge. Jesus' table was—and still is—a place of invitation and transformation. And it's wide open for you. Will you come to the table and eat? And if you know Jesus, act like him. Carefully consider with whom you are meeting with and eating with today. Who needs to see Jesus' love through the way you live and love? #graceatthetable, #dailydevotional, #callofsinners ASK THIS: Who in your life feels unwelcome at your table? When have you judged rather than joined someone in their struggle? How can you extend grace before pointing out faults today? What's one small way you can meet someone “where they are”? DO THIS: Invite someone you'd normally avoid to lunch or coffee this week and offer them compassion and direction, not only correction. PRAY THIS: Lord Jesus, thank you for meeting me in my mess and offering to heal before I ever had it together. Give me the courage to pull up a chair for others and love them with your grace. Amen PLAY THIS: Come As You Are.
Mark presents us with two possibilities of life and Jesus, and asks us a very challenging question: would Jesus call me family? At the same time he weaves in some beautiful truths about our saviour, Jesus.

MAY 4 | The Baptism & Temptation of Jesus | Mark 1:9-13 ... At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

What happens when ambition collides with Christ's mission? Mark 10:35-45 captures a revealing moment where James and John approach Jesus with a startling request for positions of power and prestige—immediately after Jesus has just predicted his suffering and death.Jesus responds with a gentle but firm correction: "You don't know what you're asking." Using the powerful imagery of drinking from his cup and being baptized with his baptism—metaphors for the suffering that awaited him—Jesus redirects their ambition. Though the brothers confidently claim they can handle whatever lies ahead, Jesus knows the road will be harder than they imagine.This teaching challenges us to examine our own motives in leadership, ministry, and service. Are we positioning ourselves for recognition, or submitting ourselves to serve others regardless of the personal cost? The disciples eventually embraced this radical model—not through their own strength, but through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.Join us as we explore this countercultural message that remains as challenging and revolutionary today as it was two thousand years ago.

April 27th, 2025 | Mark | Mr. Cody Kennamer
Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is beginning our series in Mark on the Holy Spirit. Jesus was always inviting people to follow him and do what he did. How can we be obedient to that request? What does it mean to listen to the prophetic voice of Jesus in our time?
Jesus becomes visibly indignant when His disciples attempt to block children from approaching Him. In a world where children were considered insignificant until they reached adulthood, Christ's declaration that "the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" represents a radical inversion of cultural values. While Roman society prized power, strength, and achievement, Jesus elevates childlike qualities of innocence, trust, and dependence as essential for entering God's kingdom. The biblical mandate from Deuteronomy to teach children "when you sit, when you walk, when you lie down, and when you rise up" emphasizes that spiritual education should be woven into everyday life. The same Christ who harshly confronted religious hypocrites takes children tenderly in His arms, demonstrating that God welcomes all who approach Him with sincere hearts. What childlike qualities might be missing in your approach to faith? Join us next time as we explore Jesus' challenging encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10.Support the showThank you for listening!!

God loves to see our spiritual lives rebooted with new life. Like when Jesus rose from the dead and an angel told the disciples that He was already ahead of them in another town—they had to get up and get moving! We have the awesome privilege of getting up, shaking off our past mistakes, and following after God. That's a decision we must make every day.

John 11:3 Phileo is a word that expresses deep friendship, affection, and warmth, love between close companions. 5, 11 They were more than disciples; they were friends. 8 Stone you – 10:31-32 Jesus, undaunted, knew that God would guide and protect him. 9 Look fellows, I am doing God's will. Everything is going to be all right. I am not afraid, nor should you be. You are with me. 14 Sleep – focus your attention on the living and not the dead. 16 Thomas' reaction could be interpreted as confidence or sarcasm and fear. 17 Four days The Widow's Son at Zarephath – Elijah (1 Kings 17:17-24) The Shunammite Woman's Son – Elisha (2 Kings 4:18-37) A Dead Man Who Touched Elisha's Bones – (2 Kings 13:20-21) Jairus' Daughter – Raised by Jesus (Mark 5:35-43; Luke 8:49-56) The Widow's Son at Nain – Raised by Jesus (Luke 7:11-17) Lazarus – Raised by Jesus after four days in the tomb (John 11:1-44) Tabitha (Dorcas) – Raised by Peter (Acts 9:36-42) Boy falling out window – Raised by Paul (Acts 20:7-12) Yes, in the time of Jesus, the custom in Jewish culture was to bury the dead on the day of death, just as it is today. One of the clearest prophetic signs comes from Jonah's experience: “Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” (Jonah 1:17 KJV) Jesus himself referenced this as a prophecy of his own death and resurrection: “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:40 KJV)The post Christ Series 1: Lazarus: Forerunner of Christ first appeared on Living Hope.

Peter's denial in the midst of Jesus' trial invites us to turn our eyes off ourselves and look only to Jesus.
Service from Christian Bible Church in Cissna Park, Illinois. Pastor: Steve Hall
The story of Jesus' transfiguration on the mount before Peter, James, and John prompts three reflections. Zack first reflects on holiness -- that quality that makes God God, that cannot be attained but only caught contagiously from Him, that takes the form of shining face. Second, Zack examines fear. While fear can function to motivate people in Scripture, here, as often elsewhere, it more properly means something like "intense awe" -- the sort that God sometimes grants us as encouragement at the exact point we need that. Finally, Zack argues for the importance of Jesus being a (capital P) Person (to use classic Trinitarian language) and not a mere abstraction.
From our March 23, 2025 service.
Jesus disarms his disciples in the face of armed opposition.
Sermon preached by Alex Duke at the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai on Mark 5:21-43.
If it wasn't for Jesus going to the cross, where would we be? When we think of that, it gives our hearts a song! God gave us the gift of music so our souls could express our praise in a fitting way. Even if we don't have fantastic voices, let's sing and worship the Lord today.
We can easily get so caught up in our views of pastors and leaders that we lose sight of Jesus. People will fail us and hurt us. But God never will. Even when we fail or get hurt by people in church, Jesus never changes. Today can be the day we start over in our relationships with Him and restore our faith!
Jesus has all authority, but what does that mean? Join us today as we look at some of the areas in scripture where we see Jesus displaying authority. https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes
From our March 16, 2025 service.
Jesus is so full of authority and power that just the sight of Jesus makes demons flee to him, confess his divine authority and to beg for mercy. He now tells us that we too wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against satan and his forces and gives us specific attacks to watch out for as well as the tools of a Gospel centered life with which to fight to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might.
Mark 9:38-50 with Pastor Greg Denham
Friends of the Rosary,John said to Jesus (Mark 9:38-40),“Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”Jesus replied,“Do not prevent him.There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my namewho can at the same time speak ill of me.For whoever is not against us is for us.”As we read today, Jesus teaches us that discipleship is not some personal privilege to be jealously guarded. Appreciation of the good deeds done by others is essential. We should always recognize the work.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Commitment On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: This passage is very familiar to Christians. But it has never been comfortable. Do you sometimes wish Jesus had never said, "Take up your cross and follow me”? But aren't there Christians who have a shallow relationship with God? How do you know if you have a shallow relationship with Jesus? Do you agree with the idea that it is impossible to have a shallow relationship with Jesus? If not, why? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 19:1–20:21 Mark 8:11-38 Psalm 42:1-11 Proverbs 10:17
Jesus, God's only Son, was the sacrifice for our sins. The only way for us to spend eternity in heaven with God is through repentance and faith in Him. Yet every day people reject Jesus. Even as saved Christians, we have to be careful not to turn away from our Savior. We need to live for Him every day and point others to salvation
