Who Is Jesus? | Courage In The Darkness (Mark 15:40-47)

Mark 15:40-47 will show us the followers of Jesus who remained faithful to Him even after His death. Several women and Joseph of Arimathea showed courage in the darkness by continuing to live for Christ, even when it would have been extremely difficult to do so. Because of the gospel/good news of Christ's death and resurrection, we can find hope and courage even in the darkest moments of our lives.

When life is hard, what do I do?

Who Is Jesus? | The Son of God (Mark 15:33-39)

Who Is Jesus? | The Rejected King (Mark 15:1-15)

In this sermon we'll look at Jesus' trial before the Roman governor, Pilate, in Mark 15:1-15. Even though Pilate seems to have all the power and the crowd rejects Jesus, Jesus is still the true King. He has all true power and authority and He is ultimately in control. He remains in control today, even when we turn away from Him.

He was rejected, so that we might be accepted by God.

Who has ultimate power in my life? How have I responded to Jesus Christ?

Who Is Jesus? | Not What I Will, But What You Will (Mark 14:32-42)

In this sermon we will look at Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane from Mark 14:32-42.
His example will challenge us with how we respond when our desires
collide with God's will. Will we be stubborn like the disciples? Or by
trusting in Jesus, will we follow His example by submitting to God's
will?

When my desires are not met, how do I respond?
Even when it is hard, will I submit to God's will?

Who Is Jesus? | Communion With Jesus (Mark 14:12-25)

In this sermon we look at the first Lord's Supper from Mark 14:12-25. This passage will teach us about our communion/relationship with Jesus. It is a communion based on God's character, but broken by our sin. However, Jesus' sacrifice restores our communion with God.

What can help me endure to the end?
