In this episode, we see the beautiful account in Revelation 5:8-14 of the Lamb stepping forward and taking the scroll from the One who sits on the throne. J. Mark explores the scene that John describes, following the 3 choirs, each with a distinct expression of praise and worship to the worthy Lamb. They praise the Lamb, who is worthy to take the book and open its seals, because he was slain and has redeemed us.
In this episode, J. Mark studies Mark 6:14-29, which is the account of John the Baptist’s death. This text highlights the essential qualities that all Lord’s messengers must develop to reflect Christ’s character and to deliver His message effectively. Listen to “The Lord’s Messenger” to learn from John the Baptist.
In this episode, J. Mark explores Revelation 5:1–7, where the sealed scroll is revealed by the Sovereign God. This scroll is God’s complete plan for history and redemption, and no one is worthy to open its seal. As John weeps over humanity’s hopelessness, Jesus—the Lamb who was slain—steps forward as the only One worthy to open the scroll. Join us as we see how Christ’s victory qualifies Him to unfold God’s plan, bringing judgment, redemption, and the promise of Eden restored.
In Mark 6:7–13, Jesus sends His disciples out two by two. In part two of “The Disciples’ Commission,” J. Mark explores Jesus’ command for His disciples to live with simplicity and highlights how that same principle applies to us today. He also examines the responsibility Christ gave His disciples and the responsibility we carry as His followers now.
John is given a glimpse of heaven in Revelation 4:1–11. In this episode, the scene shifts from Christ’s messages to the churches to John’s glimpse into God’s throne room and unsurpassed glory. J. Mark walks through John’s encounter by examining its purpose, its perfection, and its participants and reveals why it matters to us today. Join us for this episode, “A Trip to Heaven.”
Jesus sent out His disciples to preach the gospel of the kingdom. In this episode, J. Mark explores Mark 6:7–13, examining how Jesus commissioned the disciples to carry out His work. In this first part of “The Disciple’s Commission,” we see Jesus give specific instructions to the disciples which point to the underlying principles that still apply to our lives today.

In this second part of “The Church of Dangerous Delusion”, we continue our study of the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-22. Though this church is lukewarm and blind to their own spiritual condition, Jesus provides a path forward to restoration, which is outlined in his exhortation and compensation. In this last episode examining the churches in Revelation, we are called to reflect on our own spiritual temperature and the promise given to those who overcome.
In this episode, J. Mark teaches from Mark 6:1–6, where Jesus returns to His hometown and is met with rejection. In this example of unbelief, we see the effects of unbelief on those who reject Jesus as Messiah. This episode highlights three effects of unbelief and reveals the danger of an unbelieving heart. It reminds us that when doubt arises, we are not called to reject Jesus, but to bring our doubts to Him so He can bring clarity and truth.

How does someone become spiritually delusional? In this episode, we turn to Revelation 3:14–22 and Jesus’ sobering message to the church in Laodicea. In this episode, we see a church trapped in a dangerous self-deception, having turned away from the truth. They found comfort in material wealth and were in danger of rejecting Jesus. In this first part of the study on Laodicea, J. Mark reflects on Jesus’ accusations and the danger of becoming lukewarm in your faith.
Our lesson today comes from Mark 5:21–43, where Jesus heals two very different people: a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years, and the daughter of a religious leader whom He raised back to life. This passage illustrates the relationship between fear and faith. We see it in the devoted father, whose faith is tested when fear begins to take hold, and in the desperate woman, who pushes past her fear to trust in the power of Jesus. Join us as we discover the freedom that comes from replacing fear with faith.
