When familiarity breeds contempt
SCRIPTURE: Mark 6:1-6 Wow, Jesus could not do miracles among those who knew Him best. Is it possible that people who are close to Jesus can actually be closed to Him, and not experience His blessing? Is it that we take Him for granted, or that we know too much, and it confuses or distracts us…
Trust is better than fear!
SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:35-43 It is my belief that what Jesus did, we could do, with God’s help and for His purpose. Jesus was not exercising God-power as God, but as a human that trusted God, and was empowered by the Holy Spirit. Fear and unbelief are destructive, limiting forces that hold people back from God’s best…

SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:14-20 I have heard interesting theories as to why the spirits wanted to be sent among the pigs (one person theorized that demons need bodies to survive; if so then killing pigs was unhelpful). The reason is obvious: they wanted to scare people away from Jesus. This is how Satan and his helpers work,…
Discerning the spirits in my life
SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:1-13 Do you believe that there are spirit beings out there, good and bad? This man was possessed by a legion of evil spirits; occasionally this can happen, but I also think that all of us are harassed by evil spirits (and helped by good spirits). We are not helpless puppets against them, we…
Say it loud, “Quiet, be still!”
SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:35-41 In Psalm 46, we are urged to rest in God through the storms. Jesus seems to have a sense of peace about Him, an ability to rest in God’s presence and power. He has faith in God His Father, He knows that God will fulfill His life purpose for Him. The key to living…
