New King Church

Happy Easter New King family! We are so excited to be worshipping together to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. This week we will be studying Mark 16:1-8 where three woman go to Jesus tomb thinking His body will be there and yet are astonished when it isn’t. Our focus will be on all of what the reality of the empty tomb meant for Jesus disciples and our lives today.

This Sunday we will continue our study of Mark in 15:21-32. In this passage, we will see Jesus lead to His crucifixion. Many in this passage mock and ridicule him, but as we will see Jesus dies on the cross for the sins of the world.

We will be continuing our study of Mark in chapter 15:1-20. Here Jesus will go before Pilate, be traded for a criminal, and be mocked by Roman soldiers. We hope to see you Sunday where we will study these verses in depth and see how everything Jesus goes through was on our behalf.

This week we will finish Mark 14 covering Jesus' betrayal, trial, and Peter's denial of Jesus. No one stood by Jesus. Some sin in order to get away from him. A look at Peter's life will help us see how God is working even in the darkest nights of our soul. He alone is the lifter of our heads. 

Who is Jesus? As we've seen all through Mark, He's been the one in control of every situation. He's never rattled; He's never shaken. Then, in the darkness of Gethsemane, Jesus is staggered with emotion. Why? What's happening in the dark that causes Jesus such agony, such distress, such sorrow- even to death? On Sunday, we'll peer into the darkness and see the astonishing agony of the King and see what it means for us.

We are continuing through the gospel of Mark in chapter 14:12-31. Here we will see Jesus establish the Lord’s Supper and predict that His disciples will abandon Him. At the end we will reflect on the faithfulness of God and the significance of the Lord’s Supper for us today. We cannot wait to see you Sunday!

This week in Mark we will see the plotting of the religious leaders, the extravagant love of a woman for Christ, and the betrayal of a disciple. At the end we will ask ourselves: How will I respond? How can I show my love for Christ? 

This week, we will be studying Mark 13, where Jesus is asked about future events by his disciples. As we will see, Jesus' answer gives us assurance of His return and motivates us to be faithful in the present. We hope to see you Sunday!

This week we finally come to the end of Mark 12 and the back and forth we see between the religious leaders of the day and Jesus. Jesus casts judgment on the Scribes of his day and in doing so shows us what true service to the Messiah looks like. We only have the ability to see the outside, but God truly sees our hearts.
