Nothing is a surprise to God. In Jesus’ last days before the crucifixion, He knew everything that was coming. Follow along as Dr. McGee takes us through the first half of Mark 14, where the Pharisees plot to kill Jesus, Mary anoints Him, and Judas plans to betray Him.

When you know something is going to be good, the anticipation is delightful. Jesus was going to leave earth soon, but He promised the disciples He would return. In Mark 13—often called the Olivet Discourse—Jesus taught the disciples about the end days and things to come. He encouraged them to have no fear, share the gospel with all, and excitedly anticipate His return.

Jesus can read minds and hearts. Mark 12 gives context to many of Jesus’ important parables and teaching. Some of the people questioning Him were sincere; some wanted to trap Him. Jesus read each of their hearts and answered accordingly.

The battle between our flesh and the Spirit is real. One moment, the Spirit sings “Hosanna!”—another moment, the flesh yells, “Crucify Him!” In Mark 11, Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem is His statement of authority and a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Follow along as Dr. McGee explains this important moment and pay attention to the way people treat Jesus before His crucifixion.

No question is too hard for Jesus. The Pharisees tried to trap Him with difficult questions, but He always knew what to say. In Mark 10, Jesus lovingly sets the record straight about marriage and divorce. But more importantly, He reveals the brokenness of mankind, the emptiness of religious systems, and our desperate need for a Savior.

In this study of Mark 9, explore one of the most amazing events in the Bible—when Moses and Elijah meet Jesus on the mountain before His journey to the cross. What did they talk about? Let’s listen in.

Do you want a new self? In Mark 8, Jesus said, “Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.” Follow along as Dr. McGee teaches us how Jesus truly can transform us and give us a new identity.

There are only two kinds of people in the world—those who trust Jesus and those who reject Him. Today, in Mark 7, we’ll see examples of both groups of these people. Notice how they treat Jesus and how He treats them in return. He did the Father’s will and died for every individual—even those who rejected Him. This humbling portion of Jesus’ ministry ultimately leads us to the cross.

As a good rabbi will do, Jesus sends out His disciples two by two on their first ministry trip and gives them the power to heal and have authority over demons in His name. This is the peak of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, culminating in the crowd wanting to make Him king.

Imagine witnessing one of Jesus’ miracles in person. That would bring a whole deeper meaning to the phrase, “It’s a miracle!” wouldn’t it? Today in Mark 5, witness three outstanding miracles of Jesus over the demonic realm, death, and an uncurable disease. These three miracles left some witnesses with no room for objection: Jesus is God.
