BE JESUS’ DISCIPLE! Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”  Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.” —Mark 8:27:29 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will…

FREED! As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. —Mark 5:18-20             In Mark 5:1-20 we read of Jesus coming into contact with a man who was severely possessed with many demons.  His strength was such that he could not even be bound with a chain— “For…

ALL CREATION WILL REJOICE AT THE COMING OF JESUS! Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness. —Psalm 96:13             All creation will rejoice before the Lord!

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.  They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.” —Psalm 92:12-15             Here is encouragement to those of us who are getting older— “They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”  Whether we are young… or older……

BELIEVE GOD’S WORD OVER MAN’S WORD “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?… Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. —Matthew 19:4-5, 8 You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” —Psalm 90:3 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures;… for they quickly pass, and we fly away.  Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

WHO IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO STAND AGAINST OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! —Matthew 18:7 Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?  You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.  You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.  You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.  The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.  You created the north and the south; Tabor and…

PETER’S DOUBT WHILE WALKING ON WATER Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.  But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”   “Come,” he said.  Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and…
