Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Acts 12 6 The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate. 7 Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists. 8 Then the angel told him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” And he did. “Now put on your coat and follow me,” the angel ordered. 9 So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn't realize it was actually happening. 10 They passed the first and second guard posts and came to the iron gate leading to the city, and this opened for them all by itself. So they passed through and started walking down the street, and then the angel suddenly left him. 11 Peter finally came to his senses. “It's really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!” 12 When he realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer. 13 He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it. 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!” 15 “You're out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel.” 16 Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed. 17 He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers what happened,” he said. And then he went to another place. 18 At dawn there was a great commotion among the soldiers about what had happened to Peter. 19 Herod Agrippa ordered a thorough search for him. When he couldn't be found, Herod interrogated the guards and sentenced them to death. Afterward Herod left Judea to stay in Caesarea for a while.   Gods ways are not our ways…   Peter is out cold waiting to be executed…   It took a group of people praying… how is your church at that? How are your friends at that?   God broke the law by breaking Peter out of Jail.   Rhoda was so awestruck that she left Peter in the dark.   Peter though freed was wise enough to tell everyone to be quiet…    He was free, but also smart enough to get out of town.   God's plan does not seem fair or make much sense and even might seem cruel. Herod had the guards all executed for their role in this… fair, unfair.. its up to God to decide… we just follow orders of the Holy Spirit.    Did you ever think that maybe we limit God moving in our life because we want answers that are supernatural, but safe and in order?  God is not like that.

What comes out of you when life squeezes you? John Mark explores the transformative power of Scripture memorization—not as a childhood relic, but as a vital practice for spiritual formation, mental renewal, and resilience in suffering. He challenges us to build an inner library of God's Word so that, like Jesus, we're prepared to meet pain, temptation, and everyday moments with truth formed deep in our hearts.Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 27v45-54This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

We're continuing in our series “Acts: To All the World” as we dig deeply into the book of Acts, and learn about the early days of the church, its gatherings and leaders, triumphs and tribulations. We'll be focusing more closely on the end of Acts 15 this week, as Pastor Kent brings a sermon titled "Divided Over John Mark." Last week, we considered a church conflict that involved larger groups of people, and how that was resolved. But it can often be the most personal conflicts that can cause disagreements, and even division among Christians. We'll be considering one of these conflicts together, and exploring what we can learn from what happened and how it was resolved.To learn more about us, visit www.braemarbaptist.com. 

Christian Liberty & The Second London Confession: Insights with Aaron Wright & Wilson Marsh | The Broken Wharfe PodcastIn this episode, John Mark delves into the doctrine of Christian Liberty as framed in Chapter 21 of the Second London Confession with special guests, Aaron Wright and Wilson Marsh. They explore misconceptions around Christian liberty, particularly the focus on trivial liberties versus the more profound freedom from sin and the dominion of Satan that Christ has purchased for believers. The conversation touches on the differences in Christian liberty experienced under the Old and New Covenants and addresses common issues faced by believers today. Additionally, both guests share prayer requests regarding their respective church ministries in Houston and Wichita Falls, emphasizing gospel work and church growth.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle Lectionary: 580/361The Saint of the day is Saint BarnabasSaint Barnabas' Story Barnabas, a Jew of Cyprus, comes as close as anyone outside the Twelve to being a full-fledged apostle. He was closely associated with Saint Paul—he introduced Paul to Peter and the other apostles—and served as a kind of mediator between the former persecutor and the still suspicious Jewish Christians. When a Christian community developed at Antioch, Barnabas was sent as the official representative of the church of Jerusalem to incorporate them into the fold. He and Paul instructed in Antioch for a year, after which they took relief contributions to Jerusalem. Later Paul and Barnabas, now clearly seen as charismatic leaders, were sent by Antioch officials to preach to the gentiles. Enormous success crowned their efforts. After a miracle at Lystra, the people wanted to offer sacrifice to them as gods—Barnabas being Zeus, and Paul, Hermes—but the two said, “We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God” (see Acts 14:8-18). But all was not peaceful. They were expelled from one town, they had to go to Jerusalem to clear up the ever-recurring controversy about circumcision, and even the best of friends can have differences. When Paul wanted to revisit the places they had evangelized, Barnabas wanted to take along his cousin John Mark, author of the Gospel, but Paul insisted that since Mark had deserted them once, he was not fit to take along now. The disagreement that followed was so sharp that Barnabas and Paul separated: Barnabas taking Mark to Cyprus, Paul taking Silas to Syria. Later they were reconciled—Paul, Barnabas and Mark. When Paul stood up to Peter for not eating with gentiles for fear of his Jewish friends, we learn that “even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy” (see Galatians 2:1-13). Reflection Barnabas is spoken of simply as one who dedicated his life to the Lord. He was a man “filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. Thereby, large numbers were added to the Lord.” Even when he and Paul were expelled from Antioch in Pisidia—modern-day Turkey—they were “filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” Saint Barnabas is the Patron Saint of: Cyprus Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Our world desperately needs more encouragers like Barnabas, whose name literally means 'son of encouragement.' True encouragement goes far deeper than simply saying nice things—it requires sacrifice, as Barnabas demonstrated when he sold his valuable property to support others. Genuine encouragers see potential when others find flaws, exemplified by how Barnabas vouched for Saul (Paul) despite his history of persecuting Christians. They are also future-oriented visionaries who recognize God's work even when it doesn't fit expected patterns.Encouragers invest in others for the long term, as Barnabas did by spending a year teaching alongside Paul in Antioch. They focus on the mission above personal glory, willingly stepping aside when others rise to prominence. When people fail, encouragers respond with patience and grace, as Barnabas did with John Mark after he abandoned their missionary journey. Finally, true encouragers understand the power of multiplication—how their investment in others creates a ripple effect that extends their impact far beyond their direct influence. In a world full of discouragement, we need more people willing to sacrifice, envision, invest, humble themselves, extend grace, and multiply their impact through others.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 15 “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” These words from Jewish believers create significant dissension among the brethren. Paul and Barnabas travel to Jerusalem to discuss the issue with the apostles and elders there. Peter announces that salvation comes through faith and recounts how God bestowed the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius. Paul and Barnabas contribute by sharing stories of the salvation of Gentiles during their recent journey. In no case was circumcision required for salvation. James quotes the Old Testament to indicate God's plan to include Gentiles. Everyone involved agrees that no such burden should be placed upon new believers. A letter is written and sent to the church in Antioch. Afterward, Paul and Barnabas have a disagreement and embark upon missionary journeys separately.    Even among believers, conflicts can arise. Often, people impose their beliefs on others, leading to division. The key to resolution is communication and a willingness to seek the workings and word of God. With open hearts, the truth about salvation can be discovered and shared. God could have revealed that circumcision was unnecessary. Instead, He expected them to study, show patience and kindness, and learn together. God expects the same from us today. We can explore the liberties and restrictions of God in unity. The story at the end of the chapter involving Paul, Barnabas, and Mark illustrates how disagreements can lead to temporary separation. Yet, they continue their work as brothers and are united in the years that follow.  Loving God, soften our hearts to love one another. So many Christians have been divided over issues that should not have come between them. Help us learn to listen closely, to speak thoughtfully, and to study scripture together with unbiased and inquisitive minds. It is a blessing to see the gathering in Jerusalem unify in acknowledging the liberties among them and coming up with needful restrictions. Grant us the wisdom to reach conclusions together that align with Your will. Father, we sometimes face disagreements and separate for periods of time. Please humble our hearts to come together in love quickly. Thought Questions: -       Should brethren be careful in declaring certain conditions for salvation? Why is it crucial to explain your convictions clearly from scripture? -       Why is it valuable to gather with other students of the word when deciding issues related to salvation or the future of local churches? -       Barnabas defends John Mark in much the same way as he did Paul in chapter 9. Are you an encourager who often defends

How do you respond when you sin? Embarrassment? Shame? Horror? Or denial, hiding, running away? Some respond with confession and reception of grace. Scripture shows a variety of responses in Peter, Thomas, John Mark, the “sinful woman” and even Judas and we can learn from each. And what about when people don't respond by receiving Jesus' provision for sin?   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

Chapters 13 and 14 tells us about Saul's first missionary journey. He and Barnabas, along with John Mark initially, traveled from Antioch in Syria to Cyprus and then Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), sharing the gospel, establishing churches, and encouraging the believers. As we study these events we see Spirit-led patterns developing, that we can learn from and that remain patterns for the church to this day.

On Sunday, John-Mark started our series "The Mission Has A Church." Churches in North America (and the West more generally) have been in a period of decline for many years.  The wider culture continues the project of secularism - the adoption of new ways of thinking, believing and being that are pointedly not Christian. How should Christians respond to these widespread cultural changes?  Rather than reacting with fear (that leads to either fighting the culture or fleeing from it), another hopeful option is available: the recovery of the Mission of God as a way to understand the Trinity, the Bible, the Church, our relationship to culture and the nature of Christian justice and witness. Join us as we unpack the helpful ways a recovery of a missional perspective invites us into the work God is already doing in the world. To visit our Teaching Notes: https://stclair.substack.com/

Cody emphasizes that conflict is an inevitable aspect of church life, highlighting examples from Acts 15 where both theological disputes and personal disagreements arose among believers. He encourages congregants to view conflict as an opportunity for growth and unity, as the Jerusalem Council demonstrates. Additionally, he discusses the disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark, illustrating how God's sovereignty can bring good even from division by multiplying their missionary efforts. Cody reminds everyone to trust in God's plan during unresolved conflicts, remain humble, and seek peace, knowing that God works through all situations for His purpose.

Learn to balance truth and love.Preached May 11, 2025Pastor Aaron Frasier

We are now accompanying Paul on his first missionary journey, together with Barnabas and their associate minister, John Mark. Now remember the theme of the book of Acts—that being the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem at one end to the uttermost parts of the earth on the other. We are engaged in the arduous process of including the Gentiles in the Christian church, and we have now come to the first giant step.

This week, John-Mark takes over the podcast to discuss the upcoming untitled new album from Shades and how you can help them finish the record!

Dr. Randy White of Taos, NM, presents John Mark's journey from youthful failure to restored leader, emphasizing grace, mentorship, and perseverance in early Christian ministry.

After leaving Antioch in Pisidia following the persecution from the Jews Paul and Barnabas come to Iconium and enter the synagogue and begin preaching. Chapter 14 of Acts tells of the unbelieving Jews who stir up the peace of the city, whose people then make an attempt to stone the two Apostles. Their response is to flee to the nearby cities of Lystra and Derbe in Lycaonia (which means “wolf country”) in the wild north of Turkey. Verse 10 says that the Apostles cure a crippled man. The unsophisticated heathen now decide that Paul and Barnabas are gods clothed as men. These citizens think that Barnabas is Zeus, the chief god; and Paul is Hermes, the messenger of Zeus. Paul and Barnabas quickly tear their own clothes trying to convince the pagan priests that the Apostles are men like themselves. Paul and Barnabas teach the people of Lystra from the Word of God. The first quotation used was from Jeremiah 10:12 – one should read the entire context where “Yahweh the Living God” is contrasted with the idols of the nations. Next the population of Lystra turn on Paul, who continues to be persecuted by the Jews who came from Iconium. They stone Paul and drag him out of the city thinking that he was dead. Paul writes on this in 2nd Timothy 3 and I believe he also alludes to it in2 Corinthians 1 verse 8-10 (which seems to imply that he was in fact resurrected at that time). Did Paul avoid these vicious foes? No! He stands again and walks back into Lystra – what a witness this is to the power of God. The next day the Apostles continue to travel to Derbe. These cities are part of Galatia – the Apostle Paul would later write a letter to the Galatians. Shortly after the events we have read, Paul and Barnabas revisit those believers and tell them (14:22) that, “it would be with great pressures on believers that God would bring them into His kingdom”. Paul's personal example strongly bore witness to that. The Apostles make administrative arrangements in the communities of the believers and return to Antioch in Syria from where the first missionary journey had started. There they rejoice with their home ecclesia about what God had accomplished through them. Chapter 15 commences by telling us that the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, had not been with their home ecclesia for very long before believers from Jerusalem come to Antioch in Syria seeking to enforce Jewish customs on these newly baptised converts. A decision is made to resolve the matter by way of a conference in Jerusalem- the year is 44AD. Verse 5 speaks of the matters which are of prime concern to the converts from the Pharisees ie circumcision and the keeping the laws of Moses. Peter commences the discussion by explaining how by the conversion of Cornelius God had indicated that these matters were not necessary. What mattered was what they believed. Further the keeping of law was a yoke of bondage which the Jews themselves were not able to keep. Paul and Barnabas speak next and describe how the miracles and signs God did through those Apostles was evidence of God's acceptance of Gentiles, who He would save by His grace. James, the Lord's half brother, who had acted as Chairman of the Conference, summarises the outcomes in verses 13-21. He adds many supporting Scriptures in his summary. The Council (Conference) writes a letter, the contents of which we are told in verses 22-35; only four binding essentials were to be required of Gentile believers and these were mostly moral behaviours and an attempt not to offend Jewish believers. Two representatives from Jerusalem (Judas and Silas) are chosen to accompany Paul and Barnabas with the circular letter letter to Gentile converts which was to begin its journey at Antioch. The chapter concludes with a sad rift between Barnabas and Paul over the matter of whether Barnabas' nephew John Mark should accompany them in this task.

Pastors Jeremy, Luke, and Brian discuss the topic of failure and how God uses it in our lives. They share personal stories of failure, including instances of lying and damaging relationships. They emphasize that what we perceive as failure may actually be part of God's larger plan, citing examples from the Bible such as Joseph and John Mark. Key points include: 1. The importance of defining failure from God's perspective rather than a worldly viewpoint. 2. How God can use our failures to shape our character and teach us valuable lessons. 3. The significance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people who can help us grow through failures. 4. The need to trust God with both our own hearts and the hearts of those we may have hurt through our failures. The pastors draw parallels between God and a coach, noting that while God doesn't set us up to fail, He can use our failures to produce righteousness and peace in our lives. They conclude by encouraging listeners to lean into God as a strong foundation during times of failure, emphasizing that we are always in process and that God continues to work in our lives through both good and bad circumstances.

In this episode, Oliver Allmand-Smith joins the show to discuss the Covenant of Works with Jonny and John-Mark. They discuss its implications, referencing the Baptist Catechism and the recent publication of 'Covenant Theology from Adam to Christ' by Nehemiah Coxe and John Owen. Topics include the significance of headship, the distinctions between grace and covenant, and how the covenantal relationship between Adam and God impacts creation. The conversation also explores the relationship between angels and humanity in covenantal terms and the overarching importance of understanding the Covenant of Works in Reformed theology. Tune in for a deep theological discussion enriched by historical insights and practical implications for contemporary faith.Send us a textContact Broken Wharfe Tweet us @Brokenwharfe Find us on Facebook at BrokenWharfe Follow us on Instagram at BrokenWharfe Email us at info@brokenwharfe.com Thanks for listening!

In this chapter, we should notice a few introductions, and a notable contrast. We are introduced to John Mark, the author of the second gospel, in which he served as Peter's “secretary.” We are also introduced, obliquely, to James the Lord's brother. And the contrast is between how the angel of the Lord treated Peter over against Herod.

Is the world getting worse? Or better? John Mark explores how the world is progressing materially and technologically, but regressing psychologically, relationally, and spiritually. He shows how, even in the midst of the good and the bad of the human condition, the resurrection of Jesus opens the door for us to live the life we're longing for.

Episode 125In Part 1 of our two-part series on the Synoptic Problem, we begin with a big-picture overview of the issue: Why do Matthew, Mark, and Luke share so much in common—and where do they differ? Michael then presents the case for Matthean priority, drawing from D.A. Black's Why Four Gospels? He outlines a historical sequence where Matthew writes first, Luke follows with a chronological account under Paul's guidance in Caesarea, and Peter, to support Luke's Gospel, teaches from both Matthew and Luke in Rome. John Mark, serving as Peter's interpreter, later compiles these teachings into what becomes the Gospel of Mark.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/RxKXIS3SLEsMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at https://take2pod.wordpress.com/

In this powerful Palm Sunday message titled "I Fell at His Feet," Pastor Derrill Corbin leads us through Revelation 1:17–18 and John Mark 11:1–11, inviting us to see Jesus not just as Savior, but as King. As part of our Easter series at Mannahouse Mill Plain, we follow the journey of the Apostle John—from knowing about Jesus, to following Him, to deep intimacy, and ultimately to full surrender. John's encounter with the risen Christ reveals the awe and reverence due to the Living One—Jesus who triumphed over death and holds the keys of eternity. Through Scripture, reflection, and worship, we're called to take our next step—whatever that may be—toward deeper discipleship and wholehearted devotion. Join us as we respond to Jesus with the same posture as John: falling at His feet.

Today, we begin the gospel of Mark, which is one of the three synoptic gospels. “Synoptic” basically means “seeing the same thing,” and the other two synoptic gospels are Matthew and Luke. Historical evidence from early church fathers tells us that the apostle Peter is the one who passed these reports on to his attendant and writer, John Mark. Mark's gospel is the shortest, but the most action-packed, as he includes a number of accounts and moves quickly from one scene to the next. connecting his stories with phrases like “immediately,” “just then” and “as soon as.” We also get a sense for how hectic life must have been for Jesus, as crowds push in around him demanding more and more of His time. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Explores the reconciliation of Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark, showing how God restores broken relationships for His glory. Through love, listening, and learning, we are called to reflect Christ in how we relate to others. Our relationships, when shaped by grace and truth, can become a powerful testimony of God's redemptive work.

John Mark Dougan has claimed for years now that he has tapes of Epstein's disgusting friends engaging in disgusting acts. However, besides making the claim time and time again, no videos have ever been produced by Mr. Dougan, who fled to Russia before he could be arrested. Dougan is an ex police officer who says that he was targeted after becoming a whistleblower and that his home was raided in 2016 due to the content on his hard drive. The only problem with Mr. Dougans story is: There is no proof. In this episode we once again take a look at the claims made by Mr. Dougan and see if there is any validity to the claims being made.(commercial at 9:33)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comEx-cop claims he has sex tape of Prince Andrew filmed by Epstein stashed away - and FBI knows about it | The SunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
