EPIC: David Anointed King – Thursday
Welcome to Redeem the Commute. I’m Ryan, your host for this daily challenge. It’s Thursday, the day we try to apply and live out what we’ve learned this week from the Bible.

EPIC: David Anointed King – Wednesday
Hi, welcome to Redeem the Commute. I’m Ryan, your host for the Daily Challenges. Yesterday we read the story of David learning he’d be the new King of Israel, even though a despotic old king was still in charge. Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel.

Jesus: The Most Interesting King in the World – Thursday
The idea of Jesus as a king has something really valuable to add to our picture of Jesus. We can learn from teachers, then go home and rest. A first century Jewish person can visit a priest at the temple, and travel home to our towns. Jesus as the light can feel very philosophical, Jesus […]
Jesus: The Most Interesting King in the World – Wednesday
This week we’re studying Jesus’ identity as a king. Yesterday we read about how the Jews were anticipating a great kingly figure called the Messiah. People regularly asked if he was the Messiah, and he regularly hinted at it. And yesterday we read about his encounter with Pilate, a Roman authority who asked directly if […]
Jesus: The Most Interesting King in the World – Tuesday
The whole gospel of Mark sets out to portray Jesus as the rightful king of Israel. This was important because they were first and foremost God’s people. His ideal was never for them to have an earthly king, but the Old Testament describes their inability to live under God’s rule, to listen to his prophets, […]
