Hi friends, I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four

books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories

of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the

miracles. We will read three chapters a day and finish in 30 days usually, so each month

this year we'll read all four books. February obviously is a little bit different because

we only have 28 days, so a few days we will read a little extra. Go ahead and subscribe if you

haven't yet and join us as we read the Gospels together. And wherever you are listening,

if you could just take a second and rate and review the show, it helps so so much. I hope you

will be with us all month, but something we say around here a lot is you don't have to read or

hear the Gospels every day to be changed. But every day you do read or hear the Gospels will change

you, so I'm really glad you're here with us today. Don't ever worry if you miss a day, okay? Just

jump back in with us. Just jump back in and catch the day you miss next month, right? This month

we are reading from the English Standard Version and we are working our way through the book of

Mark. We've already finished Matthew. Next we'll do Luke and then John. If you would like the

February reading plan printed out for you or to grab our Let's Read the Gospels guidebook,

just head to anyfdowns.com slash Gospels. All right, are you ready? Let me just share with you

how this is going to go. I'll read three chapters to you. You can listen or read along in your own

Bible and then I'll write and that's it. So today is February 11th. This is day 11 and I'll

be reading Mark chapters four through six and the translation I'm reading from this month is the

ESV. Mark four. Again, he began to teach beside the sea and a very large crowd gathered about him

so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea and the whole crowd was beside the sea on

the land. And he was teaching them many things and parables and in his teaching, he said to them,
