Day 155: Jesus is Lord (2026)

Father Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day one hundred and fifty-five. We are on day two of our second messianic checkpoint. We are reading from Mark's Gospel, chapters three and four. We're also praying today from Psalm twenty. As always, the Bible translation that I am reading from is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition, and I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you wanna download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. You can also subscribe to this podcast to receive daily podcast episodes. But as I said, [laughs] it is day one hundred and fifty-five. We are reading Mark's Gospel, chapters three and four, and we're praying Psalm twenty. The Gospel of Saint Mark, chapter three. The man with a withered hand. Again, he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. And they watched him to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Come here." And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
