Abide in Me

This series surveys the Gospel of Mark with an interpretive eye, looking for Jesus’ offer of a secure attachment with God. This mental experience of connection is the physiological experience of salvation. Through the series, we will discover the benefits to our wellness of being securely attached.

Jesus repeatedly teaches that there are rules governing the processes in creation, including our thoughts and feelings. He says in Mark 12:29 that the “greatest” of these is loving God and others with our whole selves. That is being securely attached.

Modern studies of the brain, and current understandings by psychology, confirm this point of view from which we will read the Gospel of Mark. 

I invite you to follow Jesus and discover the path to discovering a mind and heart that so securely connects with God that you experience salvation; and, based on that relationship, you become so securely attached to others that you experience satisfaction, joy and peace here and now.
