As part of our expository study of Mark's Gospel and our broader study on the Doctrine of Christ, Ian delves into Jesus' eschatological discourse — the so-called "Little Apocalypse"; the "Olivet Discourse." He summarizes many of the Old Testament allusions made by Jesus and by Mark, and challenges listeners to appreciate End Times discourse, not as an immanent event, but as the reassurance of a promise. In the meantime, we should "Watch!"

As part of our expository study of Mark's Gospel and our broader study on the Doctrine of Christ, Ian explores the events leading into Jesus' eschatological discourse found in Mark 13. In particular he notes the interaction between Jesus and the Pharisees and Herodians, as well as his interaction with the Sadducees -- three groups united in their plot against Him. Ian ends with a brief statement on the Widow's Offering as compared to the greed of the scribes and priests. All of this leads into the judgment He pronounces in His coming eschatological discourse.

As part of our expository study of Mark's Gospel and our broader study on the Doctrine of Christ, Ian explores the teachings of Christ following his descent from the Mount of the Transfiguration.

Ian goes into detail exploring these Death and Resurrection predictions, as well as the recurring motif of the Suffering Servant found in Isaiah.

As part of our expository study of Mark's Gospel and our broader study on the Doctrine of Christ, Ian leads us through the impact of Peter's recognition of Christ as the Messiah and Christ's subsequent teachings about discipleship and his predictions about his death and resurrection. We also take some time to explore the Transfiguration and its impact, both in its use of the Old Testament and for Christ's eschatological teachings to come.
