MARKA 9:50

Men and women bring individual differences into their marriages. While distinctive traits can have their appeal, they can also become irritants. With the additional stress and pressure of daily life, husbands and wives can become impatient with one another, and that often leads to friction and conflict. Christian couples have an anchor in the storms of life—His name is Jesus. Let's pray and ask Him to help improve the communication in our relationships this week.

When we read the Bible, we’re dealing with the words of the Creator of the universe, spoken to His creation. This plan teaches that it is impossible for us to understand ourselves, our world, or anything else without one thing: God’s word.

The story of the Bible is the story of peace. But peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease. It is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to, in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel. Experience peace with God as you meditate on this important theme of Scripture. In this journey, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ—and be equipped to share that peace with others.

Mark is all about Jesus! This 13-day plan will walk you through the book of Mark by reading only 1-2 chapters a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.
