Surely You Are The Wise Teacher | Lenten Live 2024 (Week 5)
Join us as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season at Lenten Live! The theme of these teachings is called "Surely You Are" where we will focus each week on a different aspect of who Jesus is and what that means for us who follow him.
This week's message from Jake Williams focuses on Jesus as a wise teacher, the only one who can rightly show us how we must live in light of his kingship. This illumines an important dimension of who God is, that He is not only powerful but He is also wise. Proverbs 2 extols the value of wisdom, and 1 Corinthians 1 tells of how the wisdom of God is greater than the wisdom of the world. At the cross we see how God saves us through "foolish" means.

Mark 8 - Day One | Five Good Minutes
In this episode, Dr. Kurt Bjorkluind continues a series on the Gospel of Mark in chapter eight. Today he talks about the miracle of Jesus feeding the four thousand and how this story is distinct from the feeding of the five thousand.
Today's Passage
Mark 8:1-10 (ESV) - In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

Mark 7 - Day Five | Five Good Minutes
In this episode, Kay Warheit continues a series on the Gospel of Mark in chapter seven. Today she talks about Jesus healing a deaf Gentile man.
Today's Passage
Mark 7:31-37 (ESV) - Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Mark 7 - Day Four | Five Good Minutes
In this episode, Kay Warheit continues a series on the Gospel of Mark in chapter seven. Today she talks about Jesus bringing the gospel message to not just the Jews but also the Gentiles.
Today's Passage
Mark 7:24-30 (ESV) - And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Mark 7 - Day Three | Five Good Minutes
In this episode, Kay Warheit continues a series on the Gospel of Mark in chapter seven. Today she talks about what makes us unclean; the things that come out of our own hearts.
Today's Passage
Mark 7:14-23 (ESV) - And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
