In this episode, J. Mark Horst examines Jesus’ interaction with a scribe in Mark 12:28-34 and explores the greatest commandment: to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbors as yourself.

The God of the Living || Mark 12:18-27 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens after we die? In this episode, J. Mark Horst studies Mark 12:18–27, where the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection, try to trap Jesus with a question about marriage in the afterlife.

Read excerpt
In this episode, J. Mark studies Mark 12:1–12 where Jesus tells the religious leaders the parable about the wicked tenants. Through this parable, Jesus exposes the religious leaders' rejection of God's authority and warns them of the consequences of their rebellion. This passage calls us to examine our own privilege, checking if we respond to His goodness with humble obedience, or if we are complacent and ungrateful.
The Question of Authority || Mark 11:27-33 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who has the authority to define truth, forgive sin, and call us to obedience? In Mark 11:27-33, the religious leaders challenge Jesus with a simple question: "By what authority are You doing these things?" J. Mark explores what this encounter reveals about the foundation, delegation, and determination of true authority. We discover why all authority belongs to God which He entrusted to Jesus. This episode challenges us to reflect on if we have given Jesus authority over our lives.
