Marcos 3:11

The Holy Spirit uses God’s Word to grow believers in their faith and increase their passion for Jesus. Break down the book of Mark into the “Big Picture” of the passage, then “Digging Deeper” into that section and then move into “Living Out” the lessons that are taught in the passage in this 5-day reading plan.

Starting with God 5: How to Start is a 5‑day plan designed to help you encounter God through the Bible. Reading with confidence and faith. This plan encourages you to start not with self‑improvement, but with God—revealed fully in Jesus and faithfully through Scripture. You’ll explore what it means to be born again, why faith must lead to obedience, how to start reading the Gospels (beginning with Mark), and how to keep going with the whole story. No shortcuts—just a faithful beginning with Jesus.

The world is a battlefield. Not only literally, when people groups or countries are fighting, but also spiritually. Satan has declared war on God and God’s people. This sounds terrifying, and therefore it is important to know that Jesus is stronger. He is stronger than sin, stronger than Satan, and stronger even than death itself. And if you belong to Him, you share in His victory!

During His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ performed many signs. The Bible writers recorded many of these for us, “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). This reading plan contains a selection of Jesus’ miracles, that show you who He is!
