Lectio Mark: Faith Not Fear Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

In the midst of a great storm the disciples cry out in fear. Jesus's words to his frightened disciples are also a challenge to us. In the storms of our life, will we focus on the wind and waves and give in to fear, or will we keep our eyes firmly fixed on Christ in faith?

Lectio Mark: Feasting and Fasting Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

When Jesus says to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven," the scribes and Pharisees are taken aback and question, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Who is this Jesus who has come to earth with heavenly authority, not just to heal temporal ills but for much more. As his mission unfolds, opposition mounts and the scribes and Pharisees attempt to sow discord between Jesus and his disciples.

The opening lines of Mark's Gospel proclaim that Jesus is, without a doubt, the Son of God. He is the one for whom the way is being prepared. As Jesus sets out on that way, fulfilling the Old Testament _prophecies and prefigurements, Mark shows the Son doing precisely the work of the Father.
