Mark 14 records the last moments of Jesus’ time with the disciples. As they celebrate the Passover, Jesus is drawing God’s original covenant with Israel forward to establish something new—something that the disciples and his followers will be able to return to understand their place in the Kingdom.על ידי Wally Lowman

Here's this week's Left of Lansing "Friday Short." Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office argued in a federal appellate court that the fight to shut down the Line 5 oil pipeline belongs in a state court, and not in federal court.

In Mark 13, Jesus gives a much-debated teaching that touches on both the destruction of the temple and his second coming. While we get lost in the details of what he said, Jesus’ main point here is to encourage his disciples to be alert. Today, we too must be alert to guard against false teaching and to actively live out our faith.…

Jesus continues to spar with the religious and legal authorities of Jerusalem in Mark 12. He ultimately silences their questions with a restatement of the basics of faith: love God and love people. For us today, while we often chase the novel or exciting in faith, what we need most is to live out those basics.…

In Mark 11 Jesus behaves in a seemingly erratic manner, cursing a fig tree and chasing people out of the temple. When we slow down and read carefully though, we see Jesus teaching his disciples that the Temple was corrupt and needed to be closed down. Although it looked healthy from the outside, it was bearing bad fruit. God expects his followers t…

Here's this week's LoL Short on the how the GOP is all-in on a national abortion ban. Thanks to Distill Social for providing a video clip when they spoke with MAGA supporters before a recent Trump rally in Waterford, MI.

In Mark 10, Jesus is headed up toward Jerusalem to begin his final week. On his way there, he takes multiple opportunities to teach his disciples about what God truly values. In every instance, the assumptions of this world are countered and opposed. The values of God’s Kingdom remain the same, and Christians today must examine our own assumptions …

Here's this week's LoL Friday Short! Last week, the Christian Nationalist Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embroys used in in vitro fertilization are "children." This is just another step in the attack on women's reproductive rights. It's just not a national abortion ban these extremists are pushing. They want a ban on contraception, IVF, an…

Throughout Acts 15 to 21 we see Paul completely sold out to chasing God and proclaiming the Gospel. There is nothing else that distracts him. His believers seem to do the same. What’s our problem? Why not us? How do we die to ourselves to live for Christ? We need to live Gospel Focused lives.על ידי Wally Lowman

Here's episode 72 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!

In Acts 8-14, Philip, Peter, and Paul model how to introduce people to Christ. We can draw 3 principles from them: start where people are, work as a team, and pray when trouble happens. Listening to the Spirit, they built on what people knew of God’s story to point them to Jesus. Ganongs and their team are doing the same things to reach Baga people…

The account in Acts 2 tells us that the earliest Christians experienced deep fellowship – and their faith was stronger for it. One of the reasons our faith can feel shallow today is because we don’t experience that same level of fellowship. The believers in Acts modeled a way for us to deepen our fellowship: to share.…

We often struggle to pray because we’re distracted, out of time, or are entirely self-focused. Jesus’ prayer life was much different, and when we read Luke we see how highly Jesus valued prayer – often slipping away from everyone else to focus on God. We can learn a great deal today from Jesus’ example.…
