“The kingdom of God is at hand.” Mark 1:15 "The kingdom" is simply the rule or reign of God. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught us to ask that God’s kingdom would come, and that His will would be done, on earth as it is in heaven. God is sovereign. That means He reigns everywhere. He reigns in heaven, on earth, and even over hell. But in heaven, Go…

Then he [Jesus] went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” Mark 3:20-21 Some Christians seem to have the idea that Jesus lived a balanced life. But the demands on Jesus were so great that He did not even have time …

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” Mark 3:22 These folks were not the local clergy in Galilee. These were the top brass religious leaders coming down from the capital city in Jerusalem. Why did they come? Because the Pharisees and Herodians…

Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” Mark 3:11 Suppose an angel were to ask you: “Why should you be allowed into heaven?” and you said, “Because I believe Jesus is the Son of God.” Their obvious response would be, “Well, so do the demons. How is your faith any different from theirs…

“Whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:35 How do you know that a person has a saving faith in Jesus Christ? The answer is simple: He or she pursues a life of obedience. This theme runs through Jesus’ teaching: “You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:14). “If you love me, you will keep my co…

He [Jesus] entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. Mark 3:1-2 Imagine the tension. Jesus knew that some in the synagogue were hostile towards Him. They were watching Him closely, looking for a reason to accuse Him. Then t…

“Why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” Mark 2:24 In the fourth commandment, God calls us to set aside one day in seven to rest from our work and to enjoy all that He has done.

Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast? Mark 2:18 The Old Testament specified one day in the year when God called His people to fast—the Day of Atonement. But the Pharisees had made fasting part of their regular routine. According to tradition, they fasted Mondays and Thursdays, and encourage…

He [Jesus] saw Levi... sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” Mark 2:14 Remember, Israel was an occupied country at this time.

The problem was that the Romans needed people to gather taxes, but who in their right mind would tak…

Some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts… “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Mark 2:6-7 These men were right. The only person who can forgive is the one who has been offended. If you set fire to your neighbour’s house, your neighbour can forgive you. But if someone else sets fire to your neighbour's house, you cannot f…

Mark 1:29 Simon and Andrew were the first to follow Jesus, and now Jesus came to their home, where Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever. Nothing unusual or life-threatening about this.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1 What is the gospel?

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1 Someone might read Mark’s words and say, “Well, the confession that Jesus is the Son of God is just one man’s opinion…” Is it? It’s the unanimous confession of the New Testament “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:31). Mat…

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark 1:1 It is important to remember that God the Father did not gain a Son when Jesus was born. God sent the Son, who was already at the Father’s side, into the world. The Son shared the Father’s glory, the Father’s life, and the Father’s love before He came into the world. “[The Son] is…

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ… Mark 1:1 Jesus was a common name among the Jews until the beginning of the second century, but Christ is a title, telling us what this person named Jesus came into the world to do. Today, we might speak about Dave “the plumber,” or Diane “the teacher.” Plumbing is what Dave does. Teaching is what Diane d…

Now to him who is able to... present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy… Jude 24 Try and imagine what this will be like.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling… Jude 24 God is able to give you victory over the power of temptation. Do you believe this?

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling… Jude 24 This doesn’t mean that when you become a Christian you will never fail. We all fail in many ways. But God is able to keep you from falling.

To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling… Jude 24 Jude has been telling us that we need to watch ourselves, because we live this Christian life in the body, but we are also to find our rest in God. Verses 24 and 25 are all about God. That's significant because the first six workouts have been all about you: “But you, beloved, [build] yours…

Let a person examine himself. 1 Corinthians 11:28 Make it your regular practice to give your soul a thorough examination to see if there is anything displeasing to God hidden inside you. There are several ways of doing this. As you read the Bible, note anything that displeases God and ask yourself, “Do I see any evidence of this in me?” Don’t ask v…

To others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. Jude 23 When you reach out to others in ministry, you need to be very careful that you do not end up falling into sin yourself.

Save others by snatching them out of the fire. Jude 23 Those who can see that they’ve been burned know what the fire can do, and they reach out to others in the flames. That takes courage. You can’t do ministry without being burned. There is no pain-free ministry. There is an old story about an African village. One night there was a fire in a woode…

Save others by snatching them out of the fire. Jude 23 If you’re going to be useful in ministry, you need to have a proper understanding of yourself and what God has done for you.

Have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire. Jude 22-23 If you want to live a healthy Christian life, you need to learn to wait.

Wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ... Jude 21 The people who bring menus to your table at a restaurant are called waiters or waitresses. They have no other agenda but to wait on you.

[Wait] for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. Jude 21 When Jude talks about waiting, the obvious question is, Don’t we already have God’s mercy? Yes.
