LifeJourney is a sub brand of LifeMark Ministries. LifeJourney offers Bible Study material to help you grow spiritually so you can live boldly for Christ.
What did Jesus mean when he said, “Follow Me”? Is everyone who identifies as a Christian a disciple of Jesus? How effective are we today in following Jesus command to make disciples?
Jesus cares personally for you. He not only is the good news, has all authority, and has established a kingdom. Jesus is your HOPE. That’s who Jesus is.
The Kingdom of God is mentioned 16 times in Mark’s account of the gospel of Jesus. Explore with Rob Pine the nature of the Kingdom of God. What and where it is. Citizenship in this kingdom of God is what you want on your birth certificate and passport.
Mark’s account of the gospel quickly and decisively establishes Jesus as the new authority. What Jesus has authority over and how people respond are both examined.
Mark begins his book by telling the reader that it is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus. Join Rob Pine for a discussion on what is that gospel, where did it come from, and what do I do with it.
The gospel according to Mark begins with the clear theme that a special historic event has taken place – the kingdom of God has arrived on earth with Jesus the Son of God. How do we benefit most from this study to revitalize, renew, rebuild, restore or even establish for the first time our relationship with God through Jesus the Christ? An introduction.

A Difficult Time for God’s Glory
At this point, Luke brings to Theophilus and all readers an inside look at the hearts and minds of the disciples 10 to 11 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus. A persecuted group of people yet continuing to add to their number. A praying group of people yet wondering if God can answer. A faithful group of people yet their faith at times is weak. An ordinary group of people yet powered by ...
Turning Point, Controversy, and Expansion
A watershed moment for the church occurred at the home of a Gentile Roman Centurian named Cornelius. Upon hearing the Gentiles had believed the word of God, some Jewish believers in Jerusalem confronted Peter for having been in a Gentile home and eating with them. Peter related the story, and all objections were settled with this group. A division in the church over this issue would grow in...
From Persecutor to Proclaimer
The conversion and transformation of a Pharisee, Saul of Tarsus, from a lead persecutor of the disciples of Christ to the lead proclaimer of the gospel of Christ. This event is so significant for Luke that it is told three times. First, here in Acts 9, then from Paul himself, recorded by Luke in chapters 22 and 26 of Acts
The Gospel Spreads to Samaria and Ethiopia
The Biblical record often relates how God uses what is evil intended to go against His purpose, He uses to accomplish His purpose. God’s ability to use all things for His glory is demonstrated in the story of Philip’s activity after the death of Stephen and following the persecution of the church. Powered by the Holy Spirit, Philip preaches and teaches the gospel, opening the doors of the ...
Men of Good Reputation, Full of the Spirit, and Wise
hurch growth created issues for the early church. A particular group, Hellenistic widows, in the church in Jerusalem were underserved. The apostle’s wisdom called for the people of the church to solve the problem by selecting men of specific character to serve in a special capacity. One of the men, Stephen, was called upon by God to be the first martyr of the church, setting the ...
A New Community Under New Authority
The community of believers was functioning as God intended to the point that the Jewish officials (the Sanhedrin) were losing the respect of the people for their position as religious authority. The Holy Spirit was working signs and wonders through the apostles that drew crowds to hear the gospel and establish the apostle’s authority in the rapidly growing church.
Challenge to Authority
The authority of the Jewish elders, priests, and scribes, known as the Sanhedrin, faced a challenge to their authority from the apostles. They were accused of rejecting and condemning the very Messiah prophesied by the prophets. The Sanhedrin attempted to stop the apostles from preaching, teaching in the name of Jesus, but their response not only failed, but promoted the spread of the name of Jesus as the Mes...
Undeniable Restoration and Refreshment
The work of God, through the Spirit in the name of Jesus, moves to the gate leading to the temple where a no-name beggar, lame from birth, is healed to the wonder and amazement of the crowd. Peter healed him in the name of Jesus, which drew a crowd to hear Peter preach his second recorded gospel sermon, and many believed. The church now numbered 5,000 men.
The Power of the Holy Spirit Arrives
At the celebration of the annual Jewish festival, Pentecost, Jews of many languages from many cities, provinces, and
nations were gathered to thank God for His provision of the harvest. The Holy Spirit manifests itself on Jesus’ disciples
this day, giving them the ability to speak in languages they did not know, appearing as tongues of fire. Peter delivers the
first gospel message to this crow...
Jesus’ Kingship and Command
At his ascension to heaven, Jesus revealed His immediate plan for continuing His work and eternal vision for His church. Beginning with about 120 men and women disciples in Jerusalem, this led to the explosive growth by the power of the Holy Spirit to include all people on earth.

Paul completes his journey to Rome under God's providential care to witness and testify for Jesus just as Jesus had told him. Paul had daily home Bible studies with visitors and even Roman guards. We benefit today from four letters he wrote during his two-year prison term canonized in the Bible as Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians, and Ph...
Luke records in detail the places, people and time of Paul's trip to Rome, the capital of the Gentile world at the time. A powerful chapter that illustrates the inability of people to save themselves, and God's ability to keep His promises for His purpose, His way, and in His time.
