Healthy Rhythms of Discipleship

Following Jesus means living in the tension of self-care (Matthew 11:28-30) and self-sacrifice (Luke 9:22-23). There are seasons of life where we need peace, comfort and rest. And there are seasons when we are called upon to go out and serve. Mark 1 shows us the importance of finding a healthy balance between our service to others and our quiet time with God. In the story, there are people who need healing, people who need to be challenged, and some important principles we can learn from the example of Jesus. Chances are, there's a powerful lesson waiting for you in Mark 1.
