Sometimes we think we can hide sins, doubt, or evil plans from Jesus. The scribes and Pharisees could not. Their hearts were so transparent to Jesus that He could immediately "perceive in His spirit".

Jesus Knows Exactly (Mark 2:8-9)

It is not surprising that some theologians today do not know Jesus because they are blind to who He really is. Just like the scribes and Pharisees of long ago when they saw Jesus and His miracles, but they did not know Him and they turned against Him. Do you know who Jesus really is?

Too Blind To See Jesus (Mark 2:6-7)

The house was full when Jesus preached to the Jews in Capernaum, but heaven is NOT full. Both Gentiles and Jews need to trust Jesus as their Savior before they are freely given eternal life!

Heaven's Not Full! (Mark 2:1-2)

Why did Jesus want the man to keep the healing miracle a secret? We are now studying the last verse of Mark chapter 1 and we will learn the answer.

Now Is The Time! (Mark 1:45)

Why did Jesus tell the leprous man to see a priest to be declared that Jesus' healing had taken place in this man's life?

There are 2 things Jesus did on earth that stand out in this devotional. They are what preachers, missionaries, and we are to do. Pray and preach!

Pray, Preach, And Destroy (Mark 1:35-39)

What is a miracle? Why did Jesus not allow the demons to mention that He is the Messiah? What is the most needed healing today? These are the questions that you find answers to in this devotional. This devotional is voiced.

The MOST Needed Healing (Mark 1:32-34)

Jesus healed someone for the second time on the Sabbath. Was He against the fourth commandment that says to keep Sabbath holy? As you will see later in our study of Mark, ch. 1, Jewish people of that time truly believed that it was wrong to minister on the holy day.

THAT Is NOT Against the Sabbath! (Mark 1:29-31)

Jesus was God and has always existed. Like the Father, He is much more powerful than Satan. The Jewish people saw this and were astonished. May we see the true portrait of who Jesus really is!

Jesus  Much More Powerful Than Satan! (Mark 1:23-27)

Many preachers today do not preach as if they have the authority from God to do so. Of course, there are also many preachers who do preach with the authority of God. The scribes in the biblical time were like that. Jesus preached authoritatively and that is one thing that amazed the Jews.

Preach It! (Mark 1:21-22)

The sovereign Lord sees fit as He choses for ALL believers to participate in His huge plan- the spreading of the gospel, even those four fishermen who were not highly educated. What a privilege for us, mere creatures naturally, to serve the King!

Just Fishermen?! (Mark 1:16-20)

The Holy Spirit drove Jesus into wilderness where Satan tempted Him. Why? Let's turn to the scripture and find out! THIS VIDEO IS VOICED. This video was supposed to be posted yesterday and the one that was posted yesterday was for today. Sorry about the mess-up!

Why Was Jesus Driven To Temptation? (Mark 1:12-13)

For the first time in Galilee Jesus proclaimed the Gospel just after John the Baptist was arrested by Herod. The time has come for the prophecy of the Messiah to be fulfilled! And it is the message that is being preached and taught all around the world today! THIS IS VOICED.

Jesus Proclaimed! (Mark 1:14-15)

You read the title. That's the question to answer in this devotional. Why MUST He? By the way, I gave you the wrong verse reference in this video. It should be MATTHEW 3:14-14!   This video is voiced.

Why Must Jesus Be Baptized? (Mark 1:10-11)

What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? What is it really for? While this subject might be little controversial to some people, let's focus on Jesus who is the King of kings and has sent many messengers today pointing lost people to Him! Jesus has given the power of the Holy Spirit to ALL faithful ones to further the gospel. This means we all have the ability the fulfill the Great Commission!

Baptism Of The Holy Spirit (Mark 1:6-8)

Baptism of repentance that John the Baptist performed is not the same as the water baptism today. Jewish people of the old covenant community came to be baptized by John as they trusted God and repented. Have you repented of your sins?

Baptism Of Repentence (Mark 1:4-5)

Some believe and some do not, but no one has an excuse to say, "I did not know that God exists." When we first believed, where did our faith come from? From hearing the Gospel. The moment we believe, we are saved.

With No Excuse (Romans 10:14-17)

As believers who are in Christ, there is no condemnation for us and neither are we put to shame. What's more is that we are given riches that are far beyond earthly riches!

Believers Will Not Be Put To Shame (Romans 10:11-13)

While ancient Christians were suffering for Christ's sake, they did not shrink back from confessing their faith in Jesus. Do you confess your faith in Him or do you feel ashamed?

Belief, Justification, Confess (Romans 10:10)

To live by faith means what? That's what this devotional is about. Praise God for all that He has given that is pertained to our Christian life!
