Who provides your bread? In Mark chapter 6, Mark tells us that sometimes God provides enough bread to last the day, sometimes he provides more than enough, and sometimes he calls upon you to be bread for the world.

A Look at Mark chapter 5, where Jesus heals a man possessed by “Legion”, followed by an older woman and a young girl.

We take a look at Mark chapters 3 and 4. Who makes up Jesus’ family? What is a parable? How does God break open our world?

Picture a lion. Wild. Untamed. Not safe. But fast, strong, and in charge. This is Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. This is the kingdom of God in strange and mysterious ways.

This introductory lesson shares the background to the Gospel of Mark and provides a run-through of Mark’s highlighted points.

What does it look like to read a book of the New Testament through the lens of the gospel and Christian theology?

In this conference presentation, we look at preaching Philippians in a way that shines a light on these central themes.

The text says that he grew “in favor with God.” But the story is not about Jesus (Luke 2:52)…its about Samuel (1 Sam 2:26). In this Berean Study Series from Heritage Christian University (Florence, AL), we consider the story of Samuel and look for parallels to the story of Jesus, as well as the story God wishes to tell through you.
