How were the Israelites to receive the word of God as they settled in the Promised Land? How does Jesus establish authority in the story from Mark? What, or who, are the figures of authority in your life? How is their authority established, and how does it guide your life and the choices you make? 30 Hour Famine Want to do something to help change the world?
