"I cannot think of a greater gift to the church than a biblically rooted devotional series that spans the entire New Testament." --R. Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Who do you say that I am?" --Mark 8:29
Jesus asked his disciples this question at the midpoint of Mark''s Gospel--and no question is more important. The Gospel of Mark answers it by presenting Jesus as the king who suffered and gave his life for us, and who now invites us to take up our cross and follow him. Mark is the shortest, most urgent, most action-driven Gospel--and it directly confronts us with the cost and call of discipleship.
Mark: A 40-Day Bible Study is meditative, gospel-centered, practical, and prayerful--designed to be completed in 15 minutes or less each day. Over forty days, you will:
● Read and reflect on Mark''s Gospel, passage by passage
● Meditate on Jesus and the good news he brings--with each day''s reflection tracing how the text points to Christ
● Pray through Mark''s Gospel--guided prayers that help you respond to what you''ve read
● Apply Mark''s Gospel to your life--with suggestions for further study or group discussion
