Image
  TODAY'S SCRIPTURE Mark 1 (ESV)   TODAY'S DEVOTIONAL Wake Up Call Mark 1:14–15 (ESV)-  Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Come walk with Jesus—day by day, chapter by chapter—through the Gospels.  This daily journey is shaped in Scripture, rooted in community, and alive with the Spirit’s work in us. Let’s wake up to His love together.  Led by J.D. Walt (of Seedbed).   Each Gospel begins in unique ways as God speaks through human vessels. Matthew and Luke, for instance, give us more on the birth of Jesus while John speaks of the pre-existent Christ. Mark gets right down to business: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Mark is the briefest and most straight forward of the Gospels. For those of us old enough to remember the old show "Dragnet" Mark is the Jack Webb character Joe Fri...
