Whether you are a parent or not, this 7-day series of devotions will help you reflect on God’s deep, down-to-the-bones love for you.

The Kingdom of God is free but there is also a cost to be paid.

Join us on a fatherhood journey as we learn how to be praying fathers who impact future generations.

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.
