Mark 3:1, 2, 4, 5, 6

Need healing—in your body, heart, or family? This 5-day Bible Plan walks through powerful stories of Jesus bringing restoration. Each day includes Scripture, reflection, and a simple step of faith.

James wrote: "... if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.” (James 1:23-24 NLT) The Pharisees thought they were obeying the word. I wonder, could this be us? Are we Pharisees? You’re invited to gaze afresh, ditch religion, and grow in the childlike intimacy God desires and adores.

Jesus came to give us something greater than what the world can give us. Again and again, His grace always wins. Join us on a 14-day devotional series, written by Pastors Josh and Georgie Kelsey of C3 NYC, on stories in the gospels of grace’s victory through Jesus.

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.
