Rooted Together

Physical healing is good and can cause astonishment, but the greater healing in this chapter and true astonishment comes from God forgiving our sins. Don't miss the forest for the trees. Throughout this chapter, I hope you take some time and sit in awe of the gospel and of Jesus.

Our chapter closes with these new believers praying, reading God's Word, and taking care of each other. The young church is growing in number and faithfulness. Does your church look like a Spirit-Empowered church?

Now we look into the best part of the story. We get to look at what makes our hearts sing and lives change.

Today we get to look into the intimate prayer that Jesus prayed the night before, the cross. The moments leading up to His arrest and beatings.

Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. There are Messianic vibes here. But Jesus, to the shock of the crowd does not come in riding a mighty steed, but a humble colt. The war was over before it began. Jesus has already won. rootedtogetherpodcast@gmail.com https://readingthroughtheword.wordpress.com/ #bible #gospel #God #Jesus #Mark #Mark 11

So here's the thing  - only two of these stories align with what Mark invites us to do: come to Jesus and follow Him. Just like children eagerly seek His presence and the beggar humbly asks for mercy before following Him, we should also approach Jesus in those ways. So how will you approach Jesus today? rootedtogetherpodcast@gmail.com https://readingthroughtheword.wordpress.com/ #bible #God #J...

Jesus' glory is fully revealed and unfiltered. His power over demonic forces is seen despite the failure and weak faith of His disciples. In contrast, we must follow Jesus with our full lives and total devotion, running from all sin and fully embracing Jesus as Lord!  #bible #Jesus #Christianity #God #gospel

Only Jesus can open our spiritual eyes and heal our spiritual blindness. And when He does, we will give everything to follow Him.   rootedtogetherpodcast@gmail.com https://readingthroughtheword.wordpress.com/ #bible #God #gospel #Mark #Mark 8

" A little Jesus goes a long way. " But more seriously, she knows that Jesus is enough. Jesus says in other gospels that her daughter was healed because of the woman's faith. In this, she becomes a living parable. Ceremonially dirty, but what overflows from her heart is love and faith in God. Will we love Jesus over our traditions? Will we say that even the crumbs are enough?  rooted...

As we continue through the book of Mark, the disciples' amazement at Jesus walking on water, according to Mark, results from a lack of knowing who Jesus is. rootedtogetherpodcast@gmail.com https://readingthroughtheword.wordpress.com/ #bible #christianity #gospel #God

The man that no one could subdue is subdued by Jesus at a distance. A woman with a disease no doctor could heal is healed by Jesus without His awareness. A death that people could only mourn is healed by a mere word, perhaps even with a smirk from Jesus.
