Where do you see signs of peace in Mark 1:1-8?

For the first week of Advent, where do you see signs of hope in Mark 13:24-37?

Just as Moses reminds the Israelites to thank God for bringing them into a good land, let us remember to thank God for our blessings and the goodness in our lives during this Thanksgiving week.

Jesus continues to teach what the kingdom of God is like in this Parable of the Talents, found in Matthew 25:14-30. We have been taught that this parable is about money, but how does this teach us about the kingdom of God?

In Matthew 25:1-13, the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids leaves more questions than answers. All ten became drowsy and slept while they were waiting for the bridegroom. What does this tell us about the kingdom of God?

Revelation 7:9-17 paints a comforting image of what heaven could look like -- a multitude of all nations gathering together, worshipping God, and sheltering in Christ.

Moses asks God to see God's face, but God tells Moses that it's impossible. Yet, God makes a different way to provide a similar presence. God puts Moses in a cleft, a special place, so that Moses can get a glimpse of God.

Moses "enters into the thick darkness where God was" (Exodus 19:21). Scripture tells us that God is in thick darkness as well as light. We all have to enter our own deep darkness when we enter into a covenant with God.

The Israelites moved on to another stage in the wilderness when they are thirsty. God provides them water from a rock, a hard place, that satisfies their thirst.

The Israelites accuse Moses and Aaron for trying to kill them with hunger. Physical hunger can be a very real experience for many, and we are all spiritually hungry for God. God satisfies them physically and spiritually because God is present in the bread.
