Pastors Pregame

We're moving closer and closer to the climax of Mark's gospel. This week, we're talking about Mark 14:1-42 and some of the final hours Jesus will spend with his disciples. We'll see how an un-named woman in the home of a leper shows more courage and devotion than all the disciples put together . We'll talk about the Lord's Supper, the agony Jesus experiences at Gethsemane and how all of us are grateful for the immense grace of God.

We're focused on Mark 13 this week. Here Jesus gives a warning to be on guard and alert because trouble and persecution is coming. Is he talking to the disciples about things in their lifetime? Is all this for those who will in the end time? Or is it for us right now today? We'll discuss the options in today's podcast.

We're on a fascinating journey through Mark's Gospel. This week, we're entering Jerusalem with Jesus in Mark 11 as he gets closer to the cross and the resurrection. We'll discuss the triumphal entry and whether it was really so triumphant and the cleansing of the temple and whether Jesus was really cleansing it. Most importantly, we'll talk about how we can shift our expectations to match who Jesus really is.

Today's episode is a little bit different. First Mark will join us to tell us about what's going on at the Anna campus. Then Bruce and I talk about the serve day we're hosting here in McKinney for English and Spanish before talking about Mark 10. This is a packed chapter and we have a great discussion about marriage and divorce, wealth and sacrifice, and status and service. It's a little bit longer than our usual episode, but we hope you find these conversations worth it.

It's Holy Week, the week Christians all over the globe are remembering the final week of Jesus' life that led him to the cross, the grave, and then the resurrection. We'll share some personal reflections on what this week means to us and encourage you to do the same.

This week, we're talking about Mark chapter 9, which shows us both a glorious Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration and clueless disciples down below. We talk about faith, healing, and why it's so hard for us to accept Jesus' message that to be first we have to be the very last.

We are moving through the Gospel of Mark in our series, Supernatural Power. This week, we're in Mark 8, the hinge chapter for this gospel. We discuss what it means to really see Jesus for who he is, How we can be just as dense as the disciples, and what it can mean to deny yourself and follow Jesus.

Today it's just Lisa and Bruce talking about Mark 7. First, they talk about the 25th-anniversary celebration and then have a great conversation about how, just like the Pharisees, Christians can burden people with traditions that aren't from God.

This is a very special episode of the Pastors Pregame Podcast.
Christ Fellowship is celebrating its 25th anniversary, so we're sharing some stories from some of our staff. We hope you'll be inspired and encouraged by all that God has done.

Since we were out last week for spring break, we're going to cover Mark 5 and 6 in this episode. Each of us will pick a story from these chapters that means a lot to us and talk about why. So get ready as we discuss everything from demon possession to resurrection to doubting relatives to finding Jesus in the storm.
