Whom Do You Worship? || Mark 12:38-44

In this episode, J. Mark explores Mark 12:38–44, where Jesus contrasts the self-centered worship of the scribes with the worship of a poor widow who gave everything she had.

Through the widow’s example, we’re reminded that true worship is not measured by how much we give, but by the heart and motives behind what we give to God.
Mourning Babylon || Revelation 18:9-19

What does our grief reveal about what we truly value? In Revelation 18:9-19, J. Mark Horst examines the mourning that follows the fall of Babylon and the destruction of its wealth, power, and luxury.

As we consider their response, we’re challenged to examine our own priorities and ask whether we are invested in the wealth and pleasures of this world but or in the true riches found in Christ.
