When Jesus carried the cross towards the place of his crucifixion, the cross did not represent hope. During that time, the cross represented a painful death reserved for the worst criminals. Two thousand years later, Christians view the cross as a  symbol of forgiveness, grace, hope and love. For Jesus to save all of us, […]

“Copy Me”… that’s what Jesus said and what a powerful example He was and is for us in hard times. As He was being scorned, hit, spit on and mocked by the soldiers before the crucifixion, He set an example. He lived out His own words. He was the perfect example. Persevere. Hang tough. Don’t […]

Jesus’ trial before Pilate is tragically a classic example of Power Politics. Imagine the Jewish leaders turning over their promised Messiah to the Gentile Romans – what irony. Not only are these Romans cruel and oppressive occupiers but the Romans scorn the Jews and their religion. Chris White brings the message from Mark 15:1-15.

Peter follows Jesus after the arrest and is confronted about his relationship to him which he denies three times before the cock crows as Jesus predicted he would earlier that evening. When he realizes what has happened he breaks down and weeps a broken man. Ken Thrasher shares the message from Mark 14:66-72.

The arrest of Jesus shows how he alone would be the atonement for our sins, sacrificing his life for ours while at the same time being permanently present for his disciples.  Colin White brings the message from Mark 14:43-52.

Men face battles, small and large, on a daily basis. Will we meet them as Christ did using the greatest weapon ever given to us? Pray as Christ did in the Garden of Gethsemane. “Not my will but yours be done.” Mark Maynard shares the message from Mark 14:32-42.

Peter claims he will die before he denies Jesus. Jesus responds that he will three times before the rooster crows twice. Like Peter, we often speak before understanding the consequences or depth of what we are saying.  Land Bridgers shares the message from Mark 14:27-31.

Jim Jones led hundreds of people to South America and asked them to drink from a cup and die. Christ asks us to drink and live. Learn more about what drinking the cup means as a Christian. Tucker Yates brings the message from Mark 14:19-26.

Sean Dacey brings the message from Mark 14:12-18.  The hour of the Last Supper is approaching and Jesus leaves nothing to chance. The disciples made the decision to follow Jesus even when his directions seemed unclear. We are all in God’s hands. We can choose to embrace or fight against it.

Scandals have been going on throughout history and the Bible is filled with them. Mary was performing scandalous acts for her day. Judas was the juxtaposition of the scandal. Mary was pouring out all she had; Judas was focused solely on himself and his gain. We have a daily choice to be more like Mary […]
