The Gospel of Mark focuses in on Jesus in action, presenting a portrait of one who is always on the move. Threaded throughout the book is the question of Jesus’ true identity.

What does the Resurrected life look like? What are we called to do? And how are we supposed to it?

When Jesus rose from the dead, it was more than just a miracle. It was a victory that opened the way to the life God had always intended for us.

Jesus is completely abandoned or betrayed by everyone around him in his moment of greatest need. But through his unwavering faith in God, Jesus goes to the cross with words of forgiveness on his lips.

When we are faithful to look for God’s presence and activity, we can join God in working all things together for good.

Is it possible for God to lead us through regret and into peace?

It is easy to rely on God in times of need, but how do we stay faithful when we experience God’s abundance?

Sometimes change is forced upon us, but sometimes we are invited by God into significant change and we face a choice.

Is it possible to live with a faith that rejects fear?

Wesley’s final General Rule—Stay in love with God—is the engine that powers everything else.

How do I stand for what I believe? What difference can I really make in a world so big and so broken? These are all a part of the discussion around Wesley’s second general rule: do good.

As the Methodist movement started to grow, John Wesley realized that *how* they did things was as important as *what* they did. And the first rule reflects the truth that we cannot truly do good until we commit to doing no harm.
