Experience the Gospel of Mark: 30 Days of Reading, Learning, and Living God’s Word
Ebook
Help your students experience the storyline of Jesus and the major themes of the book of Mark.
The book of Mark introduces us to the life and ministry of Jesus and describes what it looks like to be a Christian. This beautiful and experiential study inspires students to follow Jesus and instills a lifelong love and appreciation for Scripture. Each day, a student will read a portion of Scripture and then be challenged to apply its truth to their everyday life. Experience Scripture resources are designed specifically to help readers engage with God’s Word through reading and reflection. As they become Biblically fluent, students will be able to apply its principles in everyday life. These resources are:
- Rooted in Scripture - this is not a self-help manual, but a resource that fosters a life-long habit of reading the Bible.
- Beautifully designed - contemporary design that appeals to students who appreciate a clean reading experience.
- Accessible - can be completed in one month. Each day includes brief explanation of passage’s major themes to quickly understand context.
- Experiential - Scripture is meant to be experienced. This resource provides tangible ways for students to interact with Scripture.
This Biblical commentary can be used devotionally, with these features and practices provided for each day-
- Know Before You Go – learn the essential context
- Read the Passage - average of about 20 verses per day
- After the Passage - explains meaning, themes, and the bottom line
- Experience – engaging questions and interactions
- Takeaway and Pray - personal application that lasts
So many devotional books for teenagers fall prey to one or more of these missteps: they talk about the Bible but don’t get young people to read it; they talk down to teenagers; or they try too hard to be cool (which just comes off as lame). Experience the Gospel of Mark, thankfully, avoids all these problematic approaches. It’s straightforward, engaging, conversational, and invitational. And I love that The Message passages for each day are embedded in the text, which increases the likelihood that students will actually read them.
As a family and student pastor, I am always looking for resources that challenge students and are Bible based. Here it is! Experience the Gospel of Mark: 30 Days of Reading, Learning, and Living God’s Word is what I plan to give out to students who are hungry to dive into the Bible on their own. The structure and layout are easy for students to follow, and the experience and takeaway sections challenge the reader to not just have head knowledge but also apply what they are reading to their lives. Yes. Yes! Yes!! We need resources like this to help cultivate a rhythm of learning and a living out of our faith.
Experience the Gospel of Mark gives students of the Bible a thirty-day immersion into the shortest of the four Gospels. Each reading offers readers the space to experience God through the text. The accessibility of The Message makes the experiential nature of this Bible study an inviting opportunity. The Message captures the sacred words of Mark’s Gospel and communicates them in common, everyday language. The daily readings immerse readers in sizable passages from Mark and lead readers to reflect on how each passage can penetrate the heart and lead to spiritual formation.
