Children are an important part of God’s kingdom. In this episode, J. Mark explores Mark 10:13–16, where Jesus demonstrates the high value He places on children. While the disciples and religious leaders did not regard children as important, Jesus showed them that their perspective was flawed. He highlighted both the value and the virtues of children, teaching that we must become like little children to enter His kingdom. Join us for “Children of the Kingdom” as we discover what it means to have childlike faith and learn the importance of valuing the children God has placed in our lives.
In this episode, J. Mark concludes his study of Jesus’ teaching on divorce and remarriage in Mark 10:6-12. In Part 1 of “Maybe I Do,” we explored the confrontation and the concession. In this episode, we return to Genesis with Jesus as He clarifies God’s original design for marriage. Jesus teaches that marriage is intended to be a lifelong covenant that reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church. We examine the seriousness of divorce, the impact of broken families on society, and the Church’s responsibility to uphold and model biblical marriage.
What does Jesus teach about divorce? In part 1 of “Maybe, I Do,” we see the Pharisees challenge Jesus with questions on divorce in Mark 10:1-12. J. Mark explores the cultural and religious views of divorce that the Pharisees had, and Jesus’ response to these views. Jesus takes us back to the beginning, in the […]
In this episode, J. Mark explores the remarkable faith of the Syro-Phoenician mother in Mark 7:24-30. The whole of Mark 7 challenges the Jews’ view of purity, and this story highlights this theme as well. Though Jesus initially seems to reject her plea for her demon-possessed daughter, she persists in faith. Jesus honors her faith […]
When God created us, He made us in His image and designed us for fellowship with Him. But when sin entered the world, death and division entered the human family, creating “A House Divided”. In Mark 3:20-35, we see evidence of this division in both Jesus’ biological family and His religious family. We see the […]
Colossians 3:18-4:1 Again, we have the privilege of looking into God’s Word to hear what He is saying to us.

Colossians 3:18-4:1 Thank you very much for joining us. God’s Word is so very instructive, and why wouldn’t it be? Since God is our creator, He knows best what is good for us and what we need. Think about an engine, the one who designed and built it will know the most about it. This […]
Galatians 5:22-23 When I say father, what pictures form in your mind? Are they pleasant, or memories you wish you could forget? No human being, except Jesus, ever had a perfect father, and if you’re a father now, you may feel the weight of your imperfections. But don’t despair, the Bible has clear direction for […]
Mark 10:13-16 Many of us have heard stories about someone buying something for a few dollars at a yard sale or flea market and then learning that what they purchased was worth much more than what they had paid. The seller did not know the value of the item they were offering for sale, or […]
Mark 10:1-12 Last time, we began studying Mark 10:1 to 12 under the title “Maybe I Do.” This text describes Jesus’ interaction with the Pharisees regarding divorce.
