How do you feel about crowds? Jesus loved them.

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 9:17 am By Adrian Warnock

“When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.” (‭‭Mark‬ ‭6:34‬) When you see a crowd how do you feel? Some of us find large numbers of people overwhelming. some feel afraid when they are surrounded by them. Others are just exhausted by crowds. When we are traveling on a busy train we certainly dont want to talk to anyone.... Read more

When even Jesus ‘could not’ What can stop the Almighty?

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:27 pm By Adrian Warnock

And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief.‭‭(Mark‬ ‭6:5-6‬) This is one of the most remarkable verses in the Bible. Jesus, the all powerful, stopped in his tracks. What could prevent him from acting? What could hinder his power? Unbelief. The Western Church almost encourages unbelief. Our cynicism and skepticism means that if God actually turned up and did... Read more

Do not fear, only believe!

Last updated on: June 7, 2020 at 8:16 pm By Adrian Warnock

“But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” Mark‬ ‭5:36‬ Even the most outwardly confident of us sometimes need to hear this command of Jesus. He tells us the same as he told the ruler of the synagogue: do not to be anxious, but instead trust him. Trust is a choice which can dispel fear. This is not an instruction for us to simply by human effort force ourselves not to... Read more

Evangelism made simple

Last updated on: November 5, 2025 at 12:01 pm By Adrian Warnock

“And he … said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭5:19‬) Oh how complicated we make evangelism sometimes. Or how put off we are of it because we know we will not be the next Billy Graham! Here Jesus gives a simple command. The challenge to you and me is how much do we actually do this. We live...

The One who spoke peace to the storm now speaks peace to you. (Mark 4:39)

Last updated on: June 7, 2020 at 8:16 pm By Adrian Warnock

“And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”‭‭ (Mark‬ ‭4:39).‬ READ more at Bible Gateway. There are different kinds of sleep. Jesus’ sleep was birthed in total confidence his Father was watching over the universe as he slumbered. Sleeping in the back of a boat as it is nearly overwhelmed by wind and waves is remarkable. No wonder there was a note of... Read more

Jesus’ anger at hardness of heart (Mark 3:5)

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 9:17 am By Adrian Warnock

And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. (Mark 3:5 ESV) READ more at Bible Gateway. Hardness of heart means simply failure to soften your heart. It means failure of empathy. A rejection of someone else as a person. It means we see them as an annoyance, or it means certain rules and regulations... Read more

Jesus is not looking for perfect people, just failures like you and me (Mark 2:17)

“And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

How to not be driven by what everyone else wants from you (Mark 1:33-38)

Last updated on: June 7, 2020 at 8:16 pm By Adrian Warnock

That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door . . . And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” And he said to them, “Let us go on to the... Read more

When God commands, do we immediately follow?

Last updated on: April 28, 2020 at 11:29 pm By Adrian Warnock

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. (Mark 1:17-18) Bible Gateway. One of the features of Mark’s gospel is the phrase ‘And immediately.’ Despite Mark’s brevity, his gospel contains more than 70% of the uses of this Greek Word in the New Testament (Source: Logos). He uses the same word so often that some translations decide not to translated it to avoid the constant... Read more

How reasonable are you? (Philippians 4:5 & Titus 3:1-3)

Last updated on: October 28, 2019 at 9:32 am By Adrian Warnock

“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.” ‭‭(Philippians‬ ‭4:5‬) Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. (Titus 3:1-3) Reasonableness. The same Greek word elsewhere translated gentleness. Surely also related to meekness. Not righteous indication. Not aggressive forcefulness. Not irritation. Not self assertiveness. Not ruling over others. Not dominating with... Read more
