ADHD Gospel, Day 50 Jesus, take it all. Read Mark 12:35-44. Have you ever been a place where you I recognize that it’s going to take everything you have to make something happen? There have been situations in my life where I realize that it’s challenging and difficult and it’s gonna take everything I have to finish that race or to accomplish that goal. When it comes to following Jesus, it will take everything we have. And coincidentally, that happens to be exactly what God wants. We will never truly understand how much we need God until we come to the place that we give him everything we have. That’s…

ADHD Gospel, Day 49 All the questions. Read Mark 12:1-34. If you’ve ever been around a small child, you probably know what it feels like to get asked thousands of questions. Typically, these questions are all sincere and from a deep curiosity to know and understand the world around them. However, there are always the times that they just keep questioning because they haven’t received the answer they want. They keep questioning and keep questioning hoping to break down your resistance and talk you into whatever they are asking for. For Jesus, this chapter is full of questions from various individuals. The religious leaders of the day know that Jesus…

ADHD Gospel, Day 48 We don’t know. Read Mark 11:27-33. Often it seems like the three most scary words that we can say is that “we don’t know.” These words convey a vulnerability that oftentimes people aren’t willing to admit. I’ve seen people make up answers or outright lie just to avoid having to tell someone that they don’t know the answer to something. Here in these verses, we see an interesting situation. Jesus is being questioned by people who aren’t sincere, but are just trying to trip up Jesus and make him look foolish in front of the crowd. Jesus responds to their question with a question of his…

ADHD Gospel, Day 47 Have faith. Read Mark 11:20-26. As Jesus is continuing his ministry during this time, he teaches the disciples a valuable lesson. They are told that they need to have faith. Jesus demonstrates how having faith can impact the requests that they are making. Jesus wants them to understand that having faith is a critical part of their relationship with God. It’s not much of a relationship if they don’t really believe that God can do what he says he can do. Understanding God means that we have faith in him because we know what he can do and we know how he can do it, and…

ADHD Gospel, Day 47 Teaching. Read Mark 11:12-19. Whenever I have thought of the story of Jesus casting out the money changers from the temple, I have thought more about the physical acts Jesus did. We know he was angry, but this verse reminds us that it wasn’t just about his anger. Jesus used this as an opportunity to teach. He wasn’t just screaming the statements about the house of the Lord being a house of prayer. He was teaching them when we look and think about it from this vantage point. We see that this was not an act of defiant rebellion. This was discipline and correction. Jesus used…

ADHD Gospel, Day 46 He looked around. Read Mark 11:1-11. I don’t think I ever noticed this before. You see, before Jesus goes in and starts throwing out the money changers, he actually has checked out the scene before hand. Jesus didn’t just impulsively react to what he saw in the temple, he realized it was a trend and that it had been happening regularly. Jesus went into the temple the day before. You see, we will see Jesus get angry at the money changers in our verses tomorrow, but today, we see that he saw then at work and knew what was going on. I used to think that…

ADHD Gospel, Day 45 Persistence and faith. Read Mark 10:46-52 The man wanted Jesus to see him. He called out and called out and called out until people were telling him to stop and be quiet. Still he called out even more. He was not going to be deterred and would not let anything stand in the way of his encounter with Jesus. When Jesus acknowledged him he knew exactly what he wanted in his life When we look at our lives, do we have that level of persistence? Are we that focused on making sure that we know what we want? And we know who we want it from?…

ADHD Gospel, Day 44 You don’t know. Read Mark 10:32-45. When you are a leader, you get asked some really odd questions. There is an assumption about what you are doing and the way that you are leading. Sometimes, you make decisions on limited information and often people don’t understand the big picture. That can result in people asking for some very odd things that don’t align with your thoughts or vision. This is simply because they don’t know. Jesus had two of his disciples ask him if they could be leaders and his next in command. Unfortunately, they really didn’t know what they were asking. They didn’t know the…

ADHD Gospel, Day 43 Who can be saved? Read Mark 10:22-31 This can be a hard question to answer, especially if, like the disciples, you have a pre-conceived idea of what the answer to this should be. The disciples thought that the wealthy, who seem to have everything, would have an easier time being made right with God. However, Jesus was trying to help them understand that the wealthy actually have a harder time because they are so used to depending on their own wealth. What are we depending on to get us to heaven? Are we trusting in Jesus and yet still trying to do our own thing? Are…

ADHD Gospel, Day 42 No one is good. Read Mark 10:17-21. So many times we have heard statements about, “Oh, he’s such a good person.” or “We really appreciate how nice that person is”? Yet we read scripture and we see the words of Jesus here. We have to understand that people were calling him good and then he was reminding people that the only reason he was good is because he was God. Only God is good. Only God is the one who is able to carry that title. We spend time doing things and trying our very best. And yet, everything we do and the very best that…
