Romani 8:1-8

In Mark 14:27-42, the disciples promise unending faithfulness unto Jesus, only to immediately leave Him to face the tormenting hours in Gethsemane alone. Still, His great concern was for their needs, as He pleaded with them to pray, not for His sake, but for their own. That, and other things about this passage, will move you to worship Christ from the heart, as you listen to this sermon.

Sermon video – Mark 14:12-26 – The betrayer is revealed, and forced to enact his plan on Christ’s timeline, not that of God’s enemies. We also look at the last supper and reflect on the wonders of the cross of Christ anew. It was God’s plan, and He alone was in control, even in using the evil actions of the disobedient. In history’s most precious moment, a New Covenant was being enacted. Each person’s response determines his eternal destiny.

In Judges 9, we read the tragic story of Gideon’s son Abimelech, who rises to power on the blood of his brothers, and dishonors God by partnership with idol worshipers, leading to his own demise, as well as theirs. Not a pleasant story is Gideon’s family legacy, but important lessons for us are found in it, particularly coming from the voice of Jotham, who tells his enemies, “Listen to me, so that God might listen to you.”

Sermon video Mark 14:1-11 – Jesus’ enemies seek a way to successfully end His life, and one of the twelve’s reactions to the extravagant act of worship of a woman preparing for His burial prompts him to help them for money. We learn the importance of worship and authenticity, along with the amazing value of the gospel as our life focus.

Mark 13:14-23 looks at the great shift that will happen at the midpoint of the tribulation period, and instructions for those saints who will be there as they seek to make it to the end, with applications on the importance of prophecy study for our walk of faith today. Part 2 of our look at the Olivet Discourse of Christ and an ongoing series through the gospel of Mark.

In Mark 13:1-13, Jesus gives some prophecies of things to come and of signs of the time of His coming kingdom. Both in things already being fulfilled and things yet to be after the rapture, in this sermon we see applications for our walk with Him today. Part of our series through the gospel of Mark, and a mini-series on Mark’s telling of the prophetic Olivet Discourse of Christ.
