Rest is one such ancient simplicity established by God at the beginning of His relationship with our first human parents. After working for six days, God declared the seventh day to be a day of rest – a day without boundary and equal.

Mark is all about Jesus! This 13-day plan will walk you through the book of Mark by reading only 1-2 chapters a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.

This reading plan explores the second Gospel. The persecution of Christians was on Mark's mind as he wrote this Gospel. Mark told the story of Jesus' life in ways that strengthened the faith of early Christians and encouraged them to persevere through suffering.

Each day, believers are presented with an invitation: to walk with our Good Shepherd and follow his way. In this 14-day series, Psalm 23 provides our framework for considering just how to walk with Jesus. Each day will include a verse from Psalm 23, and find resonant passages throughout the Bible, full of illustrations and encouragement for following Jesus.

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

This 20-day study examines the healing accounts of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. How did He heal, who, when, why and what can you learn from Him? Jesus’ healing ministry addresses body, soul and spirit. This study may change the way you view healing, and most importantly, draw you closer to our Heavenly Father.

In part three of a seven-part devotional journey through the Gospel of Mark, we’ll examine Mark 5:21-7:37, continuing our verse-by-verse breakdown of Jesus' life and ministry, as told by John Mark.
