Mark

This week, we will explore various perspectives on Passion Week through familiar stories found in Mark’s Gospel. Jesus knew His time on earth was ending, so what were His priorities in His final week, knowing He was destined to die? Seeing the things Jesus focused on will help us see what He is most passionate about. Written by Dean Brenton.


The Cross of Christ

Mark uses the Greek word euthus, often translated to “immediately,” 41 times to emphasize Jesus taking prompt actions to rescue anyone who believes in Him. The book is beautifully composed of two main sessions, summarised in this key verse in Mark 10:45, “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

What makes Mark’s Gospel unique from the others? The difference is in the details. Mark, telling the disciple Peter’s story, gives a private glimpse of how Jesus served. He’s constantly acting on others’ behalf. He lays aside a king’s royal robes (like we saw in Matthew) and girds Himself with the towel of service. These 9 lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee will stir your heart to serve like Jesus.

Thru the Bible -- Gospel of Mark

The Gospel of Mark reads as Peter’s eyewitness account of Jesus’ ministry. This plan will give us the chance to encounter Jesus in the way that the apostle Peter encountered Jesus. 

Mark’s gospel is short. It is focused. Like a feisty bulldog, it reads with a compelling narrative. Its ending is sudden and unexpected. It has been said that it was impossible for Mark to write a boring sentence.

I AM - An Easter Devotional

In Mark 5–7, we see Jesus and the disciples “zig-zagging” back and forth across Lake Galilee. The disciples must have felt disoriented with all the movement, but Jesus was clearly in charge of their itinerary. He seems to be on a purposeful mission, and none of his encounters with people are accidental or unanticipated. This five-day series will explore some encounters, particularly Jesus’ missional words and actions.
