We look at Mark’s explanation of the crucifixion. He doesn’t deal with the details of how Jesus died or His wounds as much as he shares the reaction of the people around Jesus. And he shares one unique detail not found in the other Gospels.  

We continue our series called DEAD OR ALIVE by examining the events that take place immediately before Jesus is placed on the cross. Mark shares this “ briefly and clearly ” — but it is no less powerful. In all of it, we realize Who was really controlling the scenario.

We continue our series Dead or Alive, and we move further into the early morning hours of the day Christ will be crucified. We’ll see two important parts of the story are happening at the same time. Jesus is going through His trial in front of the religious establishment, and Peter is going through his “trial” trying to remain incognito in the courtyard nearby. One remains strong and the other had to face his weakness.

This weekend, we continue our series Dead or Alive, and we move into the early morning hours of the day Christ will be crucified. Mark allows us to see the stress and turmoil that the Son of God was feeling as He prays in the garden. As He poured out His concerns to His Father, He eventually released himself into the Father’s care and moved forward to face what felt like an overwhelming situation. When you face a stress-filled situation, remember that you have a great High Priest who understands what you are going through. (Hebrews 4:14-16). 

We continue our series DEAD OR ALIVE as we move into the final 24 hours before Christ goes to the cross. Mark allows us to see the joy and sorrow mixed into his last supper with his closest friends. In this time, he initiates a perpetual reminder of the cross, Holy Communion, which we celebrate as a church family this weekend.

We begin the DEAD OR ALIVE series as we experience the last few days of Jesus’ ministry. This first study reminds us of Judas and the reason for his betrayal. It is another Mark “sandwich”, and it is fascinating how he presents it.

We finish the short PROPHECY series from Mark 13 as we see the second sign of the second coming. In his typical style, Mark takes a difficult issue and simplifies it for our benefit.

We begin a 2-part series on the PROPHECY. The disciples asked two questions that people are still asking today. Jesus answered very clearly but it seems many people have not paid much attention to His answers. We will break those down over the next two weeks and hopefully have a more clear understanding of how the end will take place.

We conclude our series on TOUGH QUESTIONS as we see Jesus ask a final question and then teach a powerful lesson.  It is a passage of Scripture that demands context to really understand it.  And Jesus doesn’t pull any punches as He talks about the religious leaders. 

This weekend we continue our series "Tough Questions" from Mark chapter 12. In this weekend's passage, Jesus is asked to articulate which of the 613 commandments was the most important. We will be inspired and challenged as we take a close look at His answer and the interaction He has with a teacher of the Law.

We continue our series on TOUGH QUESTIONS by looking at a question about marriage in heaven. We’ll see this question is a smokescreen for a much deeper question. The answer that Jesus gave again left his audience astonished and leaves us with some decisions about our response.

We continue our series on TOUGH QUESTIONS by looking at a question about paying taxes. The answer that Jesus gave even impressed His detractors.  When you take time to really understand it — it is amazing!
