Text: Mark 11:1-14 The long journey has now brought Jesus Christ, and the huge crowd he was leading, to the outskirts of Jerusalem.

Text: Mark 10:46-52 The healing of Bartimaeus was the second healing of blind men, as recorded in Mark (8:22-26).

The healing of Bartimaeus happened[…]
Text: Mark 10:28-45 Peter said that all of them, the twelve disciples, had left all and followed Jesus Christ (v. 28).

Text: Mark 10:13-27 Jesus Christ was always accused of spending time with wrong people; tax collectors, sinners and this time, children (v. 13).

Text: Ezekiel 5:1-17 As if the destruction of Jerusalem was not enough, Ezekiel prophesies even more death and destruction for the exiles in Babylon. Yahweh is so deeply offended by their continued rebellion, that He declares more suffering and death to come, even in their exile. Only a small remnant of God’s people will remain[…]
Text: Ezekiel 4:1-17 Sin is a lot of fun until you get caught and feel the consequences.
