Today, we conclude our series on THE WAY OF THE CROSS and “listen in” as Jesus teaches His disciples on two serious topics He wants them to understand and implement.
Last weekend, we studied an event that only happened once in human history – the transfiguration of Christ. This weekend, we get to explore what happened as soon as Jesus, Peter, James, and John came down from that amazing spiritual experience on the mountain top. As we explore the Word, we’ll see some of Jesus’ emotions emerge as He demonstrates His wondrous power in a high-stakes encounter with a desperate father. We will also gain some insights into prayer. I can’t wait to dig into the passage together!
We continue our series on THE WAY OF THE CROSS and learn about the moment that Jesus TRANSFIGURED. It is the only time in the Gospels that Jesus revealed His nature as God in front of some of His followers. From it, we learn some wonderful lessons! We will also talk about the “sticky wicket” problem that we teased about last weekend. This weekend is also WORLDWIDE COMMUNION, so we will share in Holy Communion together in all services.
THIS WEEKEND We start a new four-part series that I have titled THE WAY OF THE CROSS. This is the first time that Jesus shares the plan of His suffering and death. He does so because now they understand WHO He is. This is one of the most important teachings in Mark!
