Good News for the Unclean

Jesus' Priority of Prayer and Preaching

What kind of authority does Jesus Christ possess? In Mark 1:21-39 Jesus enters the local synagogue on a Sabbath morning and teaches with an authority that amazes His hearers. So disturbing is the authoritative teaching of Jesus that a man with an unclean spirit cries out in a defensive move against Jesus. "Are you come to destroy us?" is the demon's question. He recognizes that Jesus has authority...

John Muir, the well-known naturalist was once overcome by the beauty of Yosemite and famously said, "The mountains are calling and I must go." Have you ever felt called by something? Has it struck a chord so deeply inside of you that you knew you had to act? As the Gospel of Mark begins to unfold, Jesus first issues a general call for anyone who is listening to repent and believe the good news (Ma...

It is good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God has entered the world. The Gospel of Mark shows us that coming from Nazareth, Jesus is of humble earthly origin and by participating in John’s baptism clearly identifies himself with repenting people. Though He had no sin that needed to be confessed, His baptism in the Jordan river was a powerful statement of His saving purpose for sinners. How ext...

Don't you long to hear some good news? Whether it's through the national media outlets or from a long lost friend, we love to hear good news. Problem is, most of what we hear and pass along tends to be not-so-good news. The second book of the New Testament is titled "The Gospel of Mark," but it could just as easily be titled "The Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Mark was a close associa...

Overwhelmed much? In the constant barrage of information and expectation that most people face daily, it's easy to be overwhelmed with life. Maybe you've even felt that way in church or as you tried to wrap your mind around the 1000+ pages in the Bible. And it is real, there are lifetimes of truth to learn in the depths of the Bible. Truth about God, about people, about human life and beyond. But...

God is full of compassion and power for healing all that weakens and debilitates us whether physically or spiritually. He intends the church to be a place where people can find healing for the greatest and deepest needs of our lives. The body of Christ is designed to be a place of comfort and safety, of genuine sympathy and understanding, of personal care and healing. And He has equipped us with t...

We're in need of healing. Every one of us. For some, this includes the healing of physical illness, but for all, it includes our spiritual faults, weaknesses, and sins. That's why the Holy Spirit moved James to include both kinds of needs in this very important "one another." God is full of compassion and power for healing all that weakens and debilitates us whether physically or spiritually. He i...

What is the worst storm you’ve ever been through? What was your response? Does it ever feel like God is sleeping or numb to the situation you are in? This question stirs up fearful thoughts. But, “ why are you so afraid?” This is the question Jesus asked His disciples while in the boat during the storm in Mark 4. Though the mountains fall or the oceans roar, God is our refuge and strength a very p...

The heart of God the Father is more gracious and compassionate than we can imagine. To illustrate this truth and to correct the self-righteous grumbling of the Pharisees over Christ's friendship with sinners, He told a series of three parables about lost things: a sheep, a coin, and a son. In the third parable, Jesus masterfully crafts a storyline that amazes sinners and scandalizes the self-right...
