The Common Sense Gospel

Sarah, the wife of Abraham! What a wonderful woman she was! Her faith shines for us all because she chose to believe that God’s promise was stronger than her circumstances. In that deep abiding trust, she received strength to do what she knew to be humanly impossible. Hebrews 11:11

As Jesus continues to move from town to town, preaching the kingdom of God there is a noticeable change in the air.

The two godly women we will consider today will be Marry and Martha, with a special emphasis on Mary. No one else has a heart for Jesus the way Mary does.

Jesus shows great compassion and care for a man who is condemned to death by the law. He has leprosy and he has lost the life he once knew. Bearing under the weight of great suffering and death, this man in Mark 1 has heard about Jesus and will come to Him, plead, kneel, and say, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

Our lightning Round Question #21 is about dancing. Where does the Bible say that it sinful to dance in public?

As Mark gives us the gospel of Jesus Christ, he wastes no time telling us about the compassion and love that the Lord has for His people. In this short reading, Jesus will heal Peter's mother-in-law, all who are sick and demon possessed, and He will still find time to pray.
