Preparing the Son of Man: Part 1 || Mark 1:9-15

Our episode today examines Jesus and what He experienced to confirm His life here. This lesson, which is divided into two parts, is titled “Preparing the Son of Man,” and it highlights the different processes—approbation (approval), authentication, and proclamation—that Jesus went through to prepare for his ministry. These processes are essential in our preparation for […]
The Triumph of the Servant || Mark 16:9-20

If you have been with us for this series of study, you know our title was “Jesus, the Suffering Servant.” From our perspective, suffering doesn’t appear to be the pathway to victory. In Mark, we can see from Jesus’ teaching and actions how His suffering culminated in His ultimate triumph. Today is our final episode […]
Preparing the Way || Mark 1:1-8

Mark 1:1-8 It’s great to be with you. Thank you for joining us as we study God’s Word. The Bible remains relevant and beneficial for all who study it. Even though it was written a long time ago, it has proven and continues to confirm that it is a timeless treasure. All who are willing […]
Proofs of the Resurrection || Mark 16:1-8

Mark 16:1-8 For Christ-followers, the resurrection of Jesus is not a debatable issue. By faith, we accept the Bible record as accurate and authoritative.

On Your Mark || Mark 1:1

Mark 1:1 Thank you for joining us as we study God’s Word together. This book is so much more than just a book.

Voices From Calvary

Mark 15:33-41 Have you ever considered the remarkable gift bestowed upon us by God in our human voice? It is one of the likenesses of being made in His image. We use our voices to speak or to sing. With the same voice, we can both bless God and curse men, as James 3:9 reminds […]
When They Crucified Him

Mark 15:16-32 Do you know how many Messianic prophecies Jesus fulfilled during His earthly ministry? Mathematician Peter Stoner counted the probability of one person fulfilling “just” 48 of the prophecies found in the Tanakh (Old Testament) would be one in (10 followed by 157 zeros)! Yet, Jesus (Yeshua) fulfilled not just the 48 specifically Messianic […]
The King of the Jews

Mark 15:1-15 Thank you, Tony, for reading this sad and painful portion of Scripture. Yes, we know Jesus needed to suffer and die, but to see the callous disregard for truth and the lack of respect for human dignity should be painful for us. Let us reflect together on the text titled “The King of […]
Denying Jesus

Mark 14:66-72 Have you ever had someone you considered a friend deny knowing you? I can’t say I’ve had that experience. Years ago, I met a man in another state. He looked familiar, but I had never met him before. I asked him if he was related to a person I knew. He acknowledged that […]
