His Message: Jesus Is the King of the Kingdom (Mark 1:14-15)

February 23, 2022 Nate Holdridge

With the beginning of Jesus' preaching ministry, we have a conclusion, of sorts, to Mark's introduction. He had said, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1). And now that he's covered Jesus' forerunner, baptism, and temptation, all he has left is the summary statement of Jesus' preaching ministry. It was simple: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. (5 Minutes/1300 Words)

(1 Samuel 22:1–2)

There are episodes in David's life that serve as an excellent picture of the God-hearted man.

Follow #33 -- Mark 11:1-11 -- What Kind of King Is Jesus

October 25, 2020 Nate Holdridge

In our last study in Mark, we followed Jesus as he neared his death in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover feast. The disciples were afraid and amazed at Jesus' determination (Mark 10:32). As they traveled with Jesus, so did the crowds. They flocked around Jesus. And the time of Jesus' cross grew near.

Anticipate Your King-Priest's Return (Hebrews 9:24-28)

August 29, 2019 Nate Holdridge

On Israel's ancient Day of Atonement, the high priest, after sacrificing for his own sins, did three things. First, he offered a sacrifice for the sins of the people. Second, he took the blood of the sacrifice and went into the innermost room of the tabernacle, the Holy of Holies, where the glory of God dwelt. Third, after interceding for the nation, he reappeared to the people. His return to the congregation was cause for great celebration. (3 Minutes/800 Words)

Glorious King Jesus (Revelaton 1:12)

June 27, 2019 Nate Holdridge

None of the gospel writers tried to do it. They could have, but Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John never attempted to describe Jesus' outward appearance. Jesus' words, actions, and passion all elicited full detail, but not his looks. (2 Minutes/400 Words)
