Mark

There was nothing quite like Mark's Gospel before he wrote it. It was a new form of writing he invented for the sake of his message he describes as 'good news'.

Mark thinks it's good news. Read his account and decide for yourself.

The Gospel of Mark

For nearly 2,000 years, Christians around the world have set aside the week before Easter to follow our Lord Jesus Christ on his journey to the cross. We call this “Holy Week.” Beginning on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday, these eight days afford the Church a unique opportunity to reflect on our lives, repent of our sins, and redirect our gaze to Jesus. We’ve put together a reading plan for the events of Holy Week as told in Mark’s gospel.

Holy Week: A Guide to Preparation, Prayer & Fasting

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the
bigger picture.
That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s
death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own
interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus
knew something they didn’t.
In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll
uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change
the way we see Easter today.

The Gospel of Mark (Part Three)

Who is Jesus? It’s a question people have been wrestling with for 2,000 years with an answer that has the power to change your life forever. In part two of a seven-part devotional journey through the Gospel of Mark, we’ll examine Mark 2:18–5:20. 

The Gospel of Mark (Part Two)

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.
