Greatness
Mark 10:42-45 “And Jesus called them to him and said to them, ‘You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and…

Are we doing what Christ said?
Mark 16:15 “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’” If you are a believer, have you told anyone about Jesus today? If not, how about this week, this month, or this year? If not, why not? Didn’t Jesus tell us to do so in…

The Carpenter
Mark 6:3 “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon?” I heard a very interesting teaching by Dr. Warren Wiersbe on the passage above the other day. It centered around the issue of why God in His sovereignty determined that Jesus would be a carpenter during…

What Does THAT Mean?
Mark 6:35-37 “And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.

To Those Who Seek a Sign
Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Mark 8:11-12 “The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, ’Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say…

Violating Standards
Mark 7:9 “And he said to them, ‘You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!’” It’s interesting how people will justify their sin by substituting their obedience to something other than the Word of God. Everyone has some standard of right and wrong. What that standard is becomes…

The Only Way Up
Mark 9:35 “And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, ‘If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.’” Matthew 23:12 “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” One of the prevailing themes of the Scriptures is that…
