ESV Bible Reading with Dad (easy to understand...and fun!)

Do you want to read the Bible but not sure where to start? Does it all look a bit overwhelming to you? Join us as the Bible becomes alive and easy to understand. And even fun. Scripture reading by Dad with his teenage son. Early, as a young Christian, I was on fire for the Lord but had no real footing. One day an older gentleman put his arm around my shoulders, probably just to get me to stand still for a few moments, and asked, ”What’s the gospel, young man?” I straightened up with a smile and answered, ”Good news!” He smiled and nodded, ”Yes,” he said, ”yes it is. But what ’IS’ the gospel? What IS the good news?” I opened my mouth, ready for the eloquent answer...but nothing. It was then that his smile faded. He looked me direct in the eyes and said, ”Know what Christ’s Good News is! Know it, and be able to explain it so that an 8 year old could understand.” Go through Scripture with Dad as he explains it’s theological depths but in a way that all ages can understand. Smile for a few minutes and allow the Bible to be opened to you in a simple, but deeply personal, way.

Sit with Dad and Luke as they begin chapter 3 of Mark. The religious leaders are really starting to get upset with Jesus. They do not care if His intents are pure or even if He's sent from the Father. They are only looking for reasons to place blame on Him.

Controversies over Sinners

Watch Jesus assert his authority even more as he calls Levi (Matthew) the tax collector, sits with sinners, and looks the religious leaders in the eye as he tells them that he is the physician who has come for those who need him.
