The Bible sure has a lot of rules, commandments, and instructions. But that hasn't stopped us from adding more, with the hope of staying even further away from sin. But can self-discipline and behavior-modification make us righteous? Can our external activities change our heart and our motives? Change on the inside is something only God can do, and Jesus came to make it possible for us to have that new life. Has God begun to change your heart? Are you helping or hindering his work in your life?

Mark 5 features Jesus performing three familiar miracles: casting out a demon, healing a chronically sick woman, and raising a young girl from the dead. What do these three have in common? Why are they grouped together by Mark? On the surface, they have nothing in common. The one common theme: these people were desperate, out of resources, and flung themselves at Jesus' feet, seeking his mercy and blessing. Have you come to the place where YOU know you're out of options, and need to humble yourself at the feet of the Savior who loves you?

Jesus spent a great deal of time teaching his followers, and his moral teaching has been loved through the ages. But he was more than a moral teacher - he was God, revealing his kingdom, even the parts that are hard to understand or accept. Are we willing to hear what he has to say about himself, and us, and our right response?

In Mark 1, Jesus developed a fast-growing preaching and healing ministry. But he came for much more, so starting in Chapter 2, he starts telling people about who he is, and what he came to do - intending to provoke a response from them. When he claimed to be the arrival of God himself, come to rescue his people from their sins, the response was immediate: some people rushed to him in repentance and faith, while others immediately began to plan his murder. How do you respond to Jesus' claims?
