There are 3 types of people we see at the trial of Jesus in Mark's Gospel. Let's have a look at them and make sure that we are not in these categories!

The Israelites needed land to complete their transition into nationhood. What did the Promised Land mean? How did God use the Promised Land for His purposes? Do we have a Promised Land now as believers in Christ? Let's find out!

Under the old system, only the priests could enter the Holy Place after washing their hands and feet so that they would not die. With Jesus, everyone has access to the Father through Him!

We can read about the remarkable story about the Roman military commander who had such faith in Jesus' word, but we often miss the significance of the event. Let's learn some lessons in faith as we look at the Word!

The Torah was given by God to the Israelites. It was given to them so that they could meditate on it and be careful to keep it in order that they might be the holy people He had destined them to be. Let's delve into the Torah and what it means!

In our exposition of Hebrews 2:1-4, we have a very clear message not to neglect Christ, His message, and who He is. We may think we can try our luck and leave things up to chance, but that happens once we start neglecting our faith. Don't try your luck with God! Keep seeking Him!

Jesus is the Bread of Life. Let's stop looking for bread just to fill the craving for later on. Look for the eternally satisfying, life-giving bread that is Christ Jesus!

God makes all things beautiful in His time. Keep trusting and looking to Him!

When God touches us, we can never be the same. Perhaps, like Jacob, our wrestle with God will leave us with limps. But those limps can be used as opportunities for the Lord!

Like Joseph, whose brothers intended evil against him, God can and will turn the evil we find being done to us into something good. Let's learn to trust Him for goodness and righteousness from ugly situations!
