All Things Are Possible With God – Mark 10:25-27
But it is possible with God. He alone can bring us into his kingdom. Rich or poor, weak or string, it makes no difference. Trust God, leave this world behind, and follow Christ into the kingdom.

Studies from the gospel of Mark
He Has Risen! He Is Not Here. – Mark 16:6
The women who went to the tomb on the first Easter received the best news ever delivered. Jesus is not dead. He has risen! Jesus was not a failed messiah. Instead he was victorious over death, the final enemy. And in his victory he holds out eternal life to all who will trust in him.
Dying, He Saved Me – Mark 15:31
The priests and teachers who mocked Jesus at the cross challenged him to save himself by coming down off the cross. But it was to save others that he willingly laid down his life for all people. He died on the cross so that I might have life eternal. Praise God! Jesus saves!
I Was There – Mark 14:51-52
In the midst of this serious account of Jesus betrayal and arrest is found this amusing little story of a young man who turned into a streaker. What possible reason could there be for this inclusion? I believe it is the author of this gospel saying, “I was there”. I personally saw what happened.
Coming with Great Power and Glory – Mark 13:26-27
Even though it has been nearly 2000 years since Jesus left us with this promise, we can still look forward to his coming. It will be with great power and glory. And it will be to gather his elect from around the world, both the dead and the living. What a glorious hope, to be with him forever.
Live a Life of Love – Mark 12:30-31
Of all the 613 laws in the Old Testament, which is the most important? Jesus’ response was to love God with all we are and to love those around us. If we will live a life of love, all of the other commandments are taken care of.
If You Hold Anything Against Anyone – Mark 11:25
Hurt in inevitable in our lives. People will hurt us, whether intentionally or not. But when we hold onto the hurt, we are the ones who suffer, not the one who hurt us. If you hold anything against anyone who has hurt you, forgive them so that you can be freed from the hurt, and enjoy fellowship with God.
Sight to the Blind – Mark 10:51-52
Jesus gave sight to many who were physically blind, including Bartimaeus. But how much more precious that he will give sight to the spiritually blind, to those who have been walking about in darkness all of their lives. Come to Jesus who gives sight to the blind. Answer his call.
Everything Is Possible – Mark 9:23
To the one who believes, and does not doubt, everything is possible. Nothing God calls us to do will be impossible for the one who believes.
Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus – Mark 8:34
Jesus invites the crowd to discipleship. But not to a cheap imitation of discipleship. His call to discipleship is to take up our cross and follow him.
