When Jesus came to earth some 2,000 years ago, He accomplished many things. He healed the sick, cast out demons, and performed many miracles. However, none of these things was the primary reason He came. He came to preach, to proclaim the Gospel that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and to offer salvation to all who will trust and depend on Him.

We can fall into the arms of our Father’s love because His love is, and has always been, unfailing.

With three displays of power, Jesus shows that he has the authority to bring in the kingdom.  

Jesus begins his ministry in the region of Galilee where he calls his first disciples. You’re invited too, but you need to be aware of the commission and the cost. 

Mark is laying the foundation for the invitation to follow Jesus on the trip of discipleship. In 1:9-13 he shows us who Jesus is, his mission and his source.

The Gospel of Mark invites the reader on a trip of discipleship with Jesus. If you’re willing to follow you’ll never be the same again.

Where do you look for financial security? While society encourages us to accumulate and hold tight, Scripture offers a better way. Exploring Philippians 4:14–23, we see that Christ is completely sufficient for all our needs. By surrendering our resources to advance His Kingdom, we bless fellow believers, impact our communities, and trade temporary earthly riches for eternal treasures in heaven

We’re all desperately looking for something that always seems to be out of reach. We daydream about how to get it. We’ll go to the most extreme lengths to secure it. But still contentment seems to escape us. In Philippians 4:10-13 Paul tells us the secret.

How do we rejoice in the Lord when we face difficult circumstances?

We stand and rejoice in our victorious Jesus together for He gives peace in all circumstances.  

There’s only ever been two types of character in the Bible – God and the Devil; Heaven and Earth; Man and Christ; The Spirit and the Flesh; Enemies  of the cross and those who embrace it; Philippians 3:15-21 warns us of the way of man and encourages with the hope for those in Christ.
