We are excited to spend time concentrating on Jesus for the next 90 days and hope you are too!

Pick up a reading guide, download the app, check it out online: whatever works best for you.

Ever feel like you just can’t understand what the Bible says or what it means? Try reading a modern translation such as the CSB or NLT. Each translation tries to balance staying true to the original meaning with being readable in today’s English vernacular. We find the CSB to balance these well. The NLT is even easier to read but loses some of the power and depth of meaning found in the CSB.

Whatever translation you chose, the important part is to get in the Bible every day. Before reading ask God to help you to understand what you read. Then sit back, read the daily reading in your Bible or using the links below, and trust God to teach you something about His love for you. Consider asking yourself the following questions:

What does this passage teach me about God?
What does this passage teach me about mankind and/or myself?
What do I need to do as a result of these?
Who can I share what I learned with?

Beginnings

As the book of Mark opens, the author sets a tone for the rest of the book. In the first verse, Mark writes that this is "the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ." Jesus is the focal point and his life becomes a testimony for us all. John prepares the way for Jesus and after His baptism Jesus endures temptation in the wilderness. Once John is arrested, the earthly ministry of Jesus officially begins. As He proclaims the coming kingdom of God, He gathers disciples and his teachings and healing ministries are started.

So, with Jesus starting His earthly ministry, what are we to do? What does this mean for us? In the first chapter of Mark, we are made aware of the same things that the people receiving Jesus' teachings and healings are witnessing. The kingdom of God is near and the work of God through Jesus is still seen as evident in our day to day lives.

How is the work of Jesus seen in your daily life? What has your response been to Him? How can you praise and honor Him for His work in your life today?
