On Orphan Sunday, we turn to the word of God to find our mandate to care for the helpless as we seek to be doers of the word and not hearers only.

On Orphan Sunday, we turn to the word of God to find our mandate to care for the helpless as we seek to be doers of the word and not hearers only.

Where you see people pouring out their lives for the Gospel, you will smell the fragrance of the Gospel. As we begin Mark 14 we see a woman who literally pours out her life and future upon the Person of Jesus Christ.

With the conclusion of Mark 13 and the Olivet Discourse, Jesus affirms the truthfulness of His words and warns His followers to , "Stay Awake!"

As Jesus foretells the abomination of desolation, we are assured of the perseverance of the saints.

As Jesus teaches on the Mt. of Olives we consider what he says to his disciples about the days to come.

After Jesus prophesies the destruction of the Temple we consider what it means to Trust God when the world as we know it ends.

As Jesus concludes His teaching in the temple, He points to the danger of being like the scribes and the devotion found in a poor widow.

As we approach the end of Mark 12, Jesus turns the tables as he asks a riddle. The answer to the riddle is the key to understanding who he is and what the Bible says.

As a single scribe comes asking Jesus one final question, we find that he has come for consultation not confrontation. Through his discussion with Jesus, we find what we may all be missing when it comes to entering the Kingdom of God.
