Mark 13-15 I long for our church to pray like we really believe that the Spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak.

Mark 10-12 When I see Jesus confound the religious leaders by quoting the words of David about his son also being his Lord, I acknowledge that God’s ways are higher than ours. I figure they thought they understood that verse. What truths from scripture are we missing in terms of God’s ways being higher than…

Mark 7-9 In chapter 9 we have the transfiguration of Jesus. Jesus revealed His true glory for a moment. What will it be like to be in Jesus’ presence when His prayer for John 17 is answered and we see the glory He has always had with the Father?

Mark 4-6 Weaving together the account of the woman being healed and the girl being raised from the dead is fascinating. Take time to notice some of the similarities and differences. I’ll get you started: the girl was 12 years old and the woman was sick for 12 years.

Mark 1-3 Praise Jesus as the one who can forgive sin! He can forgive sin because He is God. He also is the one who paid the penalty for sin in order that God is just in forgiving sin and making righteous in His sight.

Hebrews 7-9 The mystery of God’s plan to raise up Melchizedek in Genesis, refer to him once in Psalms, and then use him as a type that would point to how Jesus will serve as our Great High Priest is astounding.

Hebrews 4-6 I pray that our church will recognize the great privilege of coming to God in prayer and will take full advantage of it.
