TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Mark 11:27–33 - [27] And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, [28] and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” [29] Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. [30] Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” [31] And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ [32] But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. [33] So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, friends, welcome back to the morning mindset. I'm so glad you're here. It's time for you and me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. |
| 0:14.0 | My name is Carrie. I am a pastor and a Bible teacher, and I'm here to help you as we're going through the gospel of Mark chapter 11. We're looking at verses 27 through 33 today. |
| 0:24.4 | And before we get too far into it, I want to acknowledge today's daily sponsor. |
| 0:28.8 | His name is David. |
| 0:29.6 | I want to thank you, David, for underwriting the cost of today's episode. |
| 0:34.0 | David lives in Ohio. |
| 0:34.9 | He listens every morning, and he's been supporting the morning mindset as a daily sponsor once a month for some time now. |
| 0:41.8 | If you would like to sponsor an episode of the morning mindset, you can do so in your name as David has, or anonymously, or even in memory of someone. |

| 1:12.6 | through our motives and the way we use things like words and speech and conversation to live our |
| 1:21.4 | lives but also Lord to serve your kingdom so help us to learn today how to be pure in our speech and to be lifting your name |
| 1:30.2 | high as a result. We ask in Jesus saying, amen. Okay, friends, in Mark chapter 11, Jesus has just |
| 1:37.3 | come back to Jerusalem after being out in the countryside, teaching the small towns and villages |

| 1:51.2 | disciples about that. And today we have an instance of where that is happening. In verse 27, it says, |
| 1:57.9 | and they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, |
| 2:02.3 | the chief priest and the scribes and the elders came to him. Okay, so Jesus is walking around in one of |
