Mark 3:13-1315

This three-day reading plan examines the qualities of the ultimate coach—Jesus—and what His team looks like as Christians come together for the common goal of the Gospel.

God created people to live as families, providing care, support and connection for one another. Sometimes family means more than just relatives. And some of the most beautiful relationships in the Bible are ones in which God drew unlikely people together in unexpected ways. Where do you find people who will be like family to you? Explore how God can help you find family — or be family for someone in need!

Jesus called twelve ordinary men to follow Him closely so He could impart Himself to them. Jesus walked them through a process of development and maturing so that when He left, they could repeat this process with others. This practice of making disciples brings us together today. We’re Jesus’ disciples because twelve brave men spent time with Jesus 2,000 years ago and were sent to make disciples themselves.

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.
