What was happening during the three hours of darkness at the cross? Listen to this sermon from Mark 15:33–37 and see how Jesus was forsaken so that we never would be.

This is the audio from Sunday’s message at Lake Wildwood Baptist Church from Mark 15:26–32, where we examine the sign above Jesus’ head — “The King of the Jews.” What Rome meant for mockery, God meant for proclamation. Join us as we see the King numbered with rebels so rebels could be saved.

At the third hour — 9 a.m. — while priests were binding the morning lamb to the horns of the altar, the true Lamb of God was being bound to a cross outside the city. In this sermon from Mark 15:22–25, we explore the historical depth and covenant beauty of the crucifixion — the rejected King, the refused cup, and the Lamb slain on heaven’s schedule.

This is a weighty sermon, but a necessary one. We look at what Scripture says about innocent blood, how cultural “line-drawing” blurs moral clarity, and how the church can respond with both conviction and compassion—especially toward mothers, families, and the vulnerable. My prayer is that this message helps us think biblically, love sacrificially, and act faithfully.

Welcome to Lake Wildwood Baptist Church. Today’s message is titled “Helping Jesus: Lessons from the Accidental Disciple,” from Mark 15:21. In one powerful verse, we meet Simon of Cyrene—and discover what it means to go from a bystander to a cross-bearer.

Jesus is mocked, beaten, and crowned in shame—yet He never stops being King. In this sermon from Mark 15:16–20, we see the silent strength of Christ, who willingly endured humiliation to save sinners. When the world mocks Jesus, heaven reveals His glory.

Truth is on trial—and the verdict was decided before the questions were asked.

Peter’s bold confidence collapses in a cold courtyard—but Christ’s faithfulness never wavers.

Christmas is more than a season—it’s God’s love made visible. From 1 John 4:7–14, this sermon reveals how the Father sent His Son to save sinners and calls us to reflect that same love to one another.

Joy isn’t found when life gets easier—it’s found when God gets bigger. Discover how Mary sang with joy in the middle of uncertainty, and how you can too.
