Hi, I'm Linda. I have been a Christian my whole life. I have been a member of the same denomination since childhood, too. I am now wanting to learn more about other Christian points of view on the scriptures. There is so much more to learn.

Today's reading, Matthew 4, made me think about the nature of temptation.

• Appetite: Will we trust God’s provision or satisfy our desires contrary to His will?

• Testing God: Will we trust His promises or demand that He prove Himself?

• Worship: Will we remain faithful and obedient to God or compromise our allegiance for worldly comfort and gain?

Hebrews 4:15

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Good evening, Cozy Bible Bookworms!

As we wind down tonight, we’re celebrating a milestone in 90 Days with Jesus: today’s reading, Mark 16, brings us to the end of our first Gospel!

Mark has taken us on a fast-moving journey through Jesus’ ministry, from healing and teaching to His death and resurrection. Along the way, we’ve seen His compassion, His authority, and the disciples’ struggles to understand and follow Him. Before we turn the page to Matthew, here’s something to reflect on tonight: How has reading Mark shaped your understanding of what it means to follow Jesus?

Tomorrow, we begin Matthew 1! We’ll revisit some familiar events, but through a different lens. Where Mark moves quickly from one event to the next, Matthew gives more space to Jesus’ teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount. He also draws connections to the Old Testament, showing how Jesus fulfills God’s promises, and…

Hi everyone, my name is Kelly and I live on Vancouver Island, Canada. I am married with two teen boys.

I found Jesus 20 years ago and have always had a strong emotional bond with Him but struggled to read and understand the Bible to the depth of what I wanted. Thankfully the last few months have naturally progressed into a season of deep diving into the word through amazing podcasts and Bible studies. So, from a time where I would really only read my daily verse pop notification, to now craving the deep study of His word every day, I am so grateful to have found a positive and supportive community here to walk that path with!

Hey everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet this past week. I had to go out of town unexpectedly and had limited time and internet access.

As I’m catching up on emails, I’m realizing that many of you didn’t receive last Friday’s newsletter. I’ve resent it today and posted it on our newsletter page. I’m also including a link below for anyone who missed it.

My apologies for the back-to-back emails, as this week’s newsletter will be arriving tomorrow. I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to catch up and enjoy the free printable bookmarks.

If you’ve sent me a message and haven’t heard back yet, please give me a day to get caught up. Thank you so much for your patience!

Have you ever heard “BIBLE — Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”?

I was thinking, 🤔 “Basic Instructions Before Life Eternal” fits better.

In today’s reading, Mark 12:30 brought this to my mind. If Jesus is telling us to love God with all that we are—with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—then the Bible must give us wisdom and instruction on how to do that.

The mind is to be renewed (Romans 12:2).

The heart is to be kept (Proverbs 4:23).

The body is to be brought into subjection (1 Corinthians 9:27).

For today’s reading, Mark 11:33 is missing the last 11 words.

Missing: “ . . . do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

I'm Amy from Maine. I am very new to Christianity. I'm so blessed to have found this group! I feel as though this reading plan is going to be a great way for me to start learning about God's Word with you all! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone 🥰

Good morning my fellow Cozy Bible Bookworms!

I just wanted to check in and see how everyone has been enjoying the first 4–5 days of our 90 Days with Jesus journey.

I’d really love to hear your feedback so far. What are you enjoying most? Is there anything you’d like to see more of, or anything that could make the daily experience a little better or easier to follow?

This is still very new, and I know there have been a few little growing pains as we get everything settled, so your feedback is genuinely helpful. Whether it’s the daily readings, reflection questions, comments, Fellowship Lounge, website navigation, or something completely different, please feel free to share.

Most of all, I hope you’re enjoying slowing down each day and spending this time in the Gospels together. ❤️
