We often read the Bible for application, inspiration, or direction. However, there are times when the author wants to simply point the reader to a big idea—an idea that fits with God's grand story. In the Gospel of Mark, we read about Peter's experience with Jesus that led Peter to believe in one big idea: the kingdom of God has come, and everyone is invited to participate. Today's Scripture: Mark 14:53-65 The kingdom has come and it’s built on the foundation of forgiveness. Even though we have messed up, our past does not define us. God loves us no matter what.
