Jesus gladly receives us and meets our greatest need - though it might not be what we expect. His first priority is forgiving our sins.

As we study Jonah 4, we will discover the tough questions God asks and how patiently He awaits our response.

Jesus is often recorded in Mark’s gospel commanding people not to tell about the wonderful things He had done for them. Why not?

Jesus has pity on our pain and isolation, bringing healing by purposefully touching the untouchable.

With so much demanding His attention, how did Jesus start each day? If we are following Him, we also should begin with prayer.

Following Jesus means bringing Him into the lives of those we care about the most: He lifts them up when we do.

The things Jesus said and did left everyone around Him amazed. When we hear and do what He says, amazing change happens in our lives, too.

Mark’s gospel account isn’t just about what Jesus did: it’s about how real people responded. What about you: will you follow Jesus?

In telling Jesus’ story, Mark frequently points out how “immediately” things happened. Jesus had a lot of urgency in fulfilling His life’s mission.

Mark begins Jesus’ story with His baptism, an event where God’s presence was so overwhelming it was like heaven itself was torn open.

To really know Jesus, you need to know that He’s not just some guy: God spent centuries preparing us for His coming.

This is your invitation to truly know Jesus. As you meet Him in the Gospel according to Mark, you will never be the same.

As we study Jonah 2, we will discover how God answers when we call out to Him.

In the end, it all leads here: worship God. Glimpsing how we will do that in eternity can shape how we experience life and worship right now.

"I just don't get anything out of it." When a self-professed Christian won't come to worship God, this is a common reason given. Yet if we will really consider why we worship, God will give us a focus that will make every assembly meaningful.

When it comes to worship, we easily fall into focusing on our physical environment or the steps in our rituals. Jesus makes it possible for us to focus on better things.
