The Man on a Tree
Mark 15:20-40 It’s one of the saddest moments in the history of mankind, but one of the most necessary moments at the same time. Jesus, died on a cross so that we could have the hope of eternal life with Him because He has been raised from the dead and we can trust in His grace to save us. Scriptures Referenced Isaiah 52:14 Psalm 22:18 Matthew 27:51-53 Isaiah 53:9 Psalm 69:21 Psalm 22:14-15 Psalm 34:20 Psalm 22:7-8 Psalm 22:1 John…
The Long Road to the Cross
Mark 15:1-21 Do you struggle with the brutality of the world around you? Jesus was brutalized so badly that the word says He was hard to recognize as a man. But He went through it all for us. His love for us is beyond our comprehension and His love for us never fails. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 27:12-14 Matthew 27:27-31 Luke 23:2 1 Peter 2:24 Luke 23:4
Denial, Chaos and Conviction
Mark 14:66-72 So we are taking some time here to circle back to Peter’s denial of his knowledge or relationship with Jesus. You can be sure that all the disciples fell away as Jesus said they would. Peter’s denial and ultimate restoration serve as an aid to us, not because he was the only one that failed Jesus here, but because he is the strongest example of that failure and the grace that Jesus offered when He restored him.

The Trial or the Travesty
Mark 14:53-65 The trial the Jesus endured was truly a travesty. A true miscarriage of justice where a completely innocent man was condemned to death. It is sad that this happened, but it shows the condition of man’s heart and our need for the grace that Jesus purchased for us on the cross. Scriptures Referenced John 18:12-14 Matthew 26:57-68 Luke 23:8-12 John 18:19-23 John 18:28-38 Luke 23:13-25 John 11:48-52 Luke 23:1-5
Prayer
Mark 14:32-41a Prayer, conversation with God. What an insightful thing to do, to ask Jesus, the Son of God how to pray. And what a gift, that Jesus would share with His disciples, the concepts we need to understand to have effective prayers with our God. Scriptures Referenced Luke 5:15-16 Matthew 6:9-13 Mark 1:35 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Dinner With Jesus
Mark 14:12-26 Do you wonder if the disciples were surprised when Jesus told them He had been longing to have supper with them? It was a special evening and a special meal that Jesus shared with them in the upper room. Scriptures Referenced Romans 10:9-13 Deuteronomy 16:5-6 John 13:21-30 Luke 22:8 Luke 22:21-23 John 13:31-35 Exodus 12:1-13 Matthew 26:20-25
Doing for Jesus?
Mark 14:1-11 Even though Jesus wasn’t well regarded by the religious authorities, He was loved by many people and many cared for Him. Some even made huge sacrifices to meet His needs, not even realizing the sacrifice He would make for them was beyond anything they could imagine. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 26:1-13 John 12:1-8 Luke 22:1-2 Luke 7:36–50 John 11:45-53
What Will Be The Sign
Mark 13:7-37 The disciples wondered about the things that Jesus told them were going to happen. They also wondered when they were going to happen. This message looks at that conversation and tries to make sense of what Jesus said in light of what is currently going on in the world. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 24:6 Matthew 24:29-31
By Whose AutHORITY?
Mark 11:27-33, 12:1-12 When someone asks a simple question with bad motives, are you obligated to provide them an answer. Jesus didn’t think so, so He asked a simple question in response. An honest answer would have gained the questioners the answer that they sought. The result, no answer was given that day. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 21:1 Matthew 3:1-3 Isaiah 28:16 Exodus 18:13-24 Isaiah 5:1-7 Psalm 118:23 Romans 3:23 Psalm 118:22 Romans 3:1-4a

Everybody Loves a Parade
Mark 11:1-11 A monumental day in the history of man, the day that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Himself, Jesus Christ entered the city of Jerusalem on a donkey.
