WHERE DO I BEGIN?
Don't worry, many people have asked the same question when it comes to reading the Bible. We believe the best place to start is in the book of Mark. We want to challenge you to begin a journey through a very inspiring story of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Feel free to play through these chapters as you get ready in the morning, commute to work, or find time throughout your day. Use the 3 simple questions below to help you experience, reflect, and relate.
How were the people in this story different after experiencing God/Jesus?
What was their life like before and what happened after that experience?
What does that tell us about who God/Jesus is?
How does this fit with what we already know about him?
Are there any surprises? Is there anything you find interesting or curious?
What are the timeless truths that are just as genuine today as they were yesterday?
What does this mean for my life?
Where have I seen God do similar things in my own experiences?
What is God asking me to do today?
- Is there an example to follow?
- Is there a sin to avoid?
- Is there a promise to claim?
- Is there a command to obey?
- Is there a verse to memorize?
- Is there a challenge to face?
