My Servant: four gripping poems in the book of Isaiah with a mystery, a promise and a vocation.
Who is this mysterious Servant of Yahweh? He's Jesus, of course, isn't he? But what's he doing back in Babylon five centuries too early? These poems are for captives in Babylon, for Jesus our Lord, and for you and me.

Here and Now: the call of immediacy in the Gospel of Mark
The opening words of the Gospel of Mark express the immediacy of the Gospel: "The beginning of the good news/gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (1:1). Without a main verb, these words draw us into the urgency of the entire Gospel. They express that whatever parable, miracle, teaching or narrative story in the life and ministry of Jesus, and in our reading or hearing of the Gospel of Mark, "the beginning of good news/gospel of Jesus Christ" breaks into our lives. The Gospel calls us to follow Jesus Christ as his disciples and witnesses to his crucifixion and resurrection. This is the promise that guides our study into the proclamation and living presence of the crucified and risen Christ in the Gospel of Mark.

End Times: a study of watching, warnings, and witness from the Apostle Paul - First and Second Thessalonians
The Apostle Paul's early writings include the books of Thessalonians, and his message to a persecuted and struggling church. His words continue to be an inspiration to all believers. Included in his letters to the Thessalonians is a clear message regarding end times, and the promises of our Lord to those facing death, or who have lost loved ones. His words of comfort and strength remain part of our core foundation of faith. We invite you to come and join in this study of Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians.
