The word "apostle" simply means "one who was sent." In this sense, we are all apostles, sent by the Savior and, again today by our prophet, to teach and minister and help and heal. In this episode we study how to do all of that better.

In a world of constant and violent persecution against those who follow Jesus, Mark writes stunning accounts of the Savior's miracles to remind Christians the reason and power behind their faith. As we study this week amidst a world of modern persecutions we draw from these stories of physical healing truths about the Savior's ability to heal us spiritually.

Although the crowds followed Jesus he went up into a mountain and his disciples, came to him and learned from him how to leave the crowd behind and be true follower. Study with us as we examine our own discipleship and consider what we can do to be more "blessed", salt the earth and light the world, live the higher law, and become perfect.

"Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." This pronouncement from the Savior is about so much more than baptism, it's about Christ's desire to change us, as he is able to change so many things, in something fit for the Kingdom. Study with us in this episode to learn how he can change you!

For some, the greatest stresses and worries in life come from external temptations; for many others, the internal temptations to doubt, disparage, and discourage can be the most damaging. In this episode we study Jesus' wrestle with these kinds of temptations in search for how we, like Him, can stand strong.

John's gospel gives us an up-close, intimate, unique, and tangible account of Jesus' ministry. John wants us to remember our own personal relationship with Christ. This week we come to "see" Jesus in a new light, "see" ourselves the way he does, and "see" others with more love and optimism.
