Desired By The People Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 4, 2017

As Jesus' ministry grew in popularity, He often was forced to minister in the outlying areas to accommodate the crowds that gathered. The church needs to capture this passion and desire to be in the presence of the Lord.

Desired by the People Mark 3: 7-12 The rapid pace we have become accustomed to in Mark’s Gospel continues. Jesus seldom stays in one place for extended periods of time. He is continually on the move, ministering to different people, with varied needs, in different places. Such is the case with ...read more

Multitudes Healed Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 18, 2017

Jesus is still controversial today. The enemy is still after Him. He is maligned in print, on the internet, and on the TV screen. This is blasphemy and He will deal with them. You will either be His friend or His enemy. He will be your Savior or your

Too Spiritual By Half?

he Pharisees who were bent on controlling life through rules, tedium, and withholding grace stood in sharp contrast to the common people who flocked to Jesus.

Divine Strategy

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Aug 19, 2013

In order to be truly successful, you must not only know where you want to go, but how you want to get there. In other words, you must not only have a goal, but a plan to reach that goal. You might call that plan a strategy. Strategy comes before success, both in the dictionary and in life.

Divine Strategy Mark 3:7-19 7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He ...read more

Positive Escapism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Jesus makes it clear that there is a time to take your stand, and there is also a time to retreat from your enemy so that you can be in control, and not at the mercy of the enemies choices.

Some of history's greatest battles have been won by means of retreat. The 13 colonies won the first day of battle with England in the Revolutionary War because of a wise retreat. When Captain John Parker saw several hundred British Redcoats marching on the double toward his 70 or so ...read more

Jean Paul Sartre in No Exit has three characters in the play who are one by one ushered into hell. To their surprise it is not a place of punishment.

You Cannot Silence What Is Just And Right

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Where in the Bible does it say that you cannot do that? The question of what you can and cannot do and when is the debate.

It is the Sabbath, and Yeshua went to the synagogue as all pious Hebrews did in His day. Mark’s author sets up the event by telling us that “they” were watching Him, observing what Yeshua was going to do. Why are they watching Him? At this point in the Gospel, the leaders of the various sects of ...read more
