Following Jesus
Today, we will examine the steps the disciples took as they decided to follow Jesus. As J Mark shares this lesson with us, think about your walk with Jesus and how you are following Him. Turn to Mark 1 and follow along as J Mark teaches from this chapter.
Preparing the Son of Man: Part 2
Our lesson today is a continuation of what we started last time, and our title is “Preparing the Son of Man.” We are examining three things Jesus had before he began his ministry. Last time, it was approbation, or approval and praise; this time, it is authentication and proclamation.
Preparing the Son of Man: Part 1
Our lesson today examines Jesus and what He experienced to validate His life here. The lesson is divided into two parts so that next time will be the continuation of this lesson. Turn to Mark 1 and J Mark will teach the first part of the lesson, “Preparing the Son of Man.”
Preparing the Way
Today, our lesson begins with John the Baptist and what he was doing to prepare the way for Christ.
A Band of Brothers
Today is our last lesson in the book of Colossians. I appreciate Paul’s emphasis on the supremacy of Christ in the first part of the book, and then how this belief will influence our daily lives in the second part. As we examined the final part of Colossians 4, I was reminded of the importance of other believers in our lives. Today, our title is “A Band of Brothers,” and we will discuss some characteristics that define what is needed in this type of relationship. Turn to Colossians 4 for today’s lesson.
On Your Mark
Today, we begin our series in the gospel of Mark. J. Mark will introduce the lesson and examine the background and context in which Mark was written. The teaching is a little shorter than usual, so I’d like to take a moment to share some testimonies with you.
Getting the Word Heard: Part 2
As I'm sure you've noticed, we are nearing the end of the book of Colossians. After this lesson, we have one more, and that will complete our teaching from Paul’s fantastic book. As you may recall from last week, our title is “Getting the Word Heard,” and last week we explored how vital communion with God is in spreading the Word. Today marks the second part of this teaching, and the main points will be clarity, conduct, and conversation, each an essential element in allowing the Word to be heard.
Getting the Word Heard: Part 1
Today, we are looking at the first section of Colossians 4. As you can see, we are nearing the end of this short, powerful book, which emphasizes the supremacy of Christ. We will examine verses 2-6, and our title is “Getting the Word Heard.” Pastor J Mark is here to share the first part of this teaching with us.
God’s Social Contract: Part 2
Today, we continue the practical lesson of applying God’s wisdom to our relationships. Last time, we examined guidelines for marriage, which are areas where we can all grow and improve. Today, we will discuss the practical aspects of family relationships and employment relationships.
God’s Social Contract: Part 1
At the end of Colossians 3, Paul gives instructions regarding a few common relationships. Everywhere we look, we see people in these relationships. Like the rest of the Bible, listening to and living it is not a must. You and I have a choice, but if we know what is good for us, we will heed God's words and live by them. Today’s teaching is excellent and very practical advice for our relationships.
