Mark Chapter 2 highlights Jesus teaching back in Capernaum. Through friends, faith, and forgiveness a paralytic is healed, a tax collector is called to discipleship, and the religious rulers witness Truth in action.

Former victories in life are no guarantee of an absence of future crises. When we find ourselves in the pits of life, we are minded that God has a perfect plan.

As we finish Mark Chapter1, we’ll see Jesus turn the religious “system” upside down. He will demonstrate His authority, His power over demons and darkness, and His power to heal. We’ll also learn how to love ALL people as Jesus shows us His love for ALL people.

As we study Daniel 5 we will learn from the fall of Babylon. We will examine the difference between the king’s pride and the humility of Daniel and how we can apply those lessons to our lives.

As we open the Gospel of Mark, we learn how John the Baptist fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of being the messenger who would prepare the way of the Lord.

That same truth extends to us today. God is God and we are not. He is still sovereign and we are still dealing with pride. Like Nebuchadnezzar, we are all tempted to rule from our little thrones, we all must learn that God is sovereign.
