The Gospel of Mark presents an opening verse that sets the stage well for one of the four Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. Before we can delve deep into the material, however, we must first consider who Mark is, the message he is sharing from his perspective, and who Jesus is described as within the text.
In a sin-cursed world, all is tainted by darkness, but that isn't the end of the matter. God lovingly sent the light of His Word to guide us throuhg the dark so that we might know Him. The Apostle Peter urges us to both "Pay Careful Heed to the Illuminating Scriptures" and to "Remember the Divine Source of the Scriptures," giving us everything we need to navigate the darkness faithfully until the new Day dawns.

Pastor Stephen Duwe of Montage Bible Church presents a message from the book of Habakkuk, analyzing his prayer to the Lord during the judgement of the Israelites. Even amidst a crisis and difficult trial, Habakkuk's prayer contains critical elements that can be used to shape the manner in which we should communicate and interact with the Lord.
The Bible is clear on how Christ's disciples should function within the church, providing numerous examples within the Gospels and Paul's letters. In 2 Timothy, Paul writes about the characteristics of a true disciple and provides guidance on how they should carry themselves.
Four imperatives for God-honoring faithfulness from the life of Daniel.
In the light of God's wondrous salvation in and through His Beloved Son, we now have the joy and duty, by God's Grace, of Worshipping Him out of a heart of love and gratitude for all He's done, not only personally but also as a community of faith.
As those who have been the privileged recipients of God's unfathomable love in Christ, Christians, of all people, are empowered by the Spirit of God to love God and love one another, from the heart, and for God's Glory.
As holy and redeemed people, we are to strive, by God's Grace, to walk in humble dependence upon our great God in prayer, knowing that apart from Him we can do nothing.
As Christians, it's Christmas every day as we remember and relish on the Glorious Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, being mindful that He is, indeed, the Majestic King, in Whom all the nations are to place their confident trust in.
The decision to crucify Jesus is a remarkable event in history that, when closely studied, reveals how even when He was being wrongly tried, God's perfect plan saw Jesus taking our place as our perfect substitute.
Contrary to the current culture of self-promotion and self-exaltation, we seek the Exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ, as we herald the life-saving message of the Gospel, humanity's one and only hope for salvation from sin and from God's just judgment.
Contrary to the current culture of moral relativism and moral autonomy, we believe that the Bible is the very Word of the only One and True God, authoritative, inerrant, infallible, and sufficient for all matters pertaining to man’s purpose for existence, church life, and mission on earth.
In an age where commitment is largely frowned upon, and where comfort, ease, and low expectations are the norm, the Lord Jesus, who died for His Church, calls us as Christians to be highly committed participants rather than passive spectators in a healthy, local church.
Paul's final and parting words to the Philippians are so helpful for us as Christians, as we strive, by God's Grace, to walk in a manner worthy of Christ.
How glorious that as Christians we can sincerely experience joy and contentment in the Christian life, that we might Exalt Christ, and be a source of blessing to our Christian brethren.
It's impossible for Christians to experience true peace, personally and communally, unless right thinking and healthy relationships are being cultivated, by God's grace and for His glory.
In a broken and fallen world, it's important for Christians to fix their eyes on Christ and on heavenly realities in order to not lose heart.
The Christian must, by God's Grace, be cultivating Christlike virtues that will lead to peaceful living in the home, in the church, and in the world.
In the light of our indestructible and unbreakable union in Christ, Christians are to do everything possible to preserve the unity that has been established by our precious King.
