Reese LeRoy | In Mark 8, Jesus makes it clear to his disciples then and to us today that following him calls us to daily exchange our self-centeredness for Christ-centeredness. But the exchange is worth it because he gives us true life and souls that thrive!

Patrick Campbell | How do you describe yourself to the world when it comes to your faith? Would you declare you are a Christian or would you say an apprentice?

Reese LeRoy | In Mark 6, Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth where he only heals a few people due to their resistance and lack of faith.  This story is a reminder that faith matters when it comes to seeing greater expressions of God's rule and reign setting things right in our lives and in the world around us.

Reese LeRoy | At the end of Mark 4 and the beginning of Mark 5, we see where Jesus reveals his identity as the Son of God, his power demonstrated in miracles and signs and wonders which are ultimately always expressions of his great love.  Thankfully, Jesus, the Son of God, still stands ready to rescue us and set us free with his powerful love!

Angela Otero | Looking at some short verses about Jesus withdrawing from people, we ask: How is God forming us when we feel abandoned by Jesus? What is the invitation from God? You are not as alone as you think you are. Jesus is there in the darkness waiting for you.

Reese LeRoy | In Mark 5, there is a "story within a story" that demonstrates how Jesus is with us to turn our fear into faith in our Heavenly Father.  In both parts of this "double feature," we see how our faith honors God and serves as the channel through which His power can work in our lives.
