Plan description

This devotion (taken from the Book of Mark) will equip you with biblical truths, and guide you to practise it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time, costly and hard. It is restoring of relationships by releasing a painful past with an attitude of love. Nothing keeps us in bondage to the past as much as our unwillingness to forgive. Refusal to forgive leads to bitterness of the soul. Forgiveness is freedom from bitterness and the propensity to get even. It reopens the future of new beginnings – a restart.

Have you ever wondered what the point is of the Gospels and the book of Acts? Each day, you’ll explore one of the books and see how they reveal Christ and the Gospel message. This is made possible in partnership with Spoken Gospel.

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics -- all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. And Christians call him Savior -- the Son of God. Jesus is by any estimation one of the most influential figures in human history. So who is He? We’re here in Mark -- to find out what the Bible says about it.

Over the course eight days, be encouraged by Scripture and the wisdom of other women as you seek to apply the truths of Mark's gospel to your everyday life.

Mark uses the Greek word euthus, often translated to “immediately,” 41 times to emphasize Jesus taking prompt actions to rescue anyone who believes in Him. The book is beautifully composed of two main sessions, summarised in this key verse in Mark 10:45, “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

This simple plan will lead you through the Gospel According to Mark from beginning to end.

What makes Mark’s Gospel unique from the others? The difference is in the details. Mark, telling the disciple Peter’s story, gives a private glimpse of how Jesus served. He’s constantly acting on others’ behalf. He lays aside a king’s royal robes (like we saw in Matthew) and girds Himself with the towel of service. These 9 lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee will stir your heart to serve like Jesus.

The Gospel of Mark is an eye-witness account from one of the closest followers of Jesus. In this nine-day plan, you’ll see how Mark has carefully crafted his story to show that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah who has come to bring God’s kingdom.
