Have you ever wondered if you are good enough to read the Bible? Does it feel like you aren't qualified? I grew up in church so I thought I knew how to read it; I didn't! With a few footnotes, I want to share the resources and tips that opened the Bible for me. The word finally started to feel like that "living" word I always hear about. If you follow Christ, you have the Holy Spirit and that means you are qualified to read God's word. If you want to be, this is a great place to dip your toes in the water and see what this whole Jesus thing is all about. I believe that when you read about God's true character, from His own words, you won't be able to stop telling people about how your life is saved and changed. Jesus wants us to tell our story because it is HIS story. See Jesus rightly in the Bible, and see Him in your story.

We are continuing our study of Mark chapter 4. Today is all about parables! As always, I hope you are reading (or listening to) the chapter in its entirety before diving into the podcast. If you can, look at each parable separately. Write down your observations. Then line them up. What do they have in common, how are they different? What is Jesus telling us about the kingdom of God

704 Mark chapter 2

Sep 09 2024 37 mins

Chapter 2 has a great theme of looking at the why. Why do we do certain rituals? Why do faith traditions matter? What is the point and why is that the point we decided?Jesus heals a man brought through the ceiling by his friends, forgives his sins and sends him home. Scribes question the authority Jesus claims in forgiving sin and Jesus answers by claiming the title "Son of Man".Ma
