Good Friday?

Mark 15:16-39

 

Irony!

 
The king that isn't…? 

 

The saviour that didn't…? 

  

Good Friday?

 

Dear God, 

Sorry, for living life my way like you don't exist. 

Thank you for sending Jesus to take my punishment for me. 

Please forgive me, and change me, to live for you. 

Amen

Jesus Changes EVERYTHING

Mark 14:1-16:8

(Reading:14:27-72)

 

Mark shows us Jesus knew what was to happen… (10:33-34 ch14-16)

 

 

…and that Jesus knew the significance  (14:32-42 & 15:33-34)

 

 

Do YOU understand the significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection?

Stay Focused!!

Mark 13

The fishermen are given their instructions (cf 1:16-20)

This section is ‘apocalyptic’, full of OT images of judgement – which remind us of the times we are in

• These are the things we should expect

• These are the things we should avoid

• These are the things we should do

We have a lot in common with the fishermen – they stayed focused, will you?

Giving your ALL?

Mark 11:27-12:44

(Reading: 11:27-33 & 12:35-44)

 

Why does Mark tell us about the widow?  (12:41-44) 

 

What’s happening in the rest of this passage? 

 

Jesus’ authority is challenged

 

While Jesus continues to teach

  

So, what can we learn about giving our all?

Jesus: King and Judge

Mark 11:1-25

 

What Jerusalem saw…

 

 

What the disciples saw…

 

 

What Mark wants us to see…

•  Jesus: the saviour-King of Israel, and of the nations
• Jesus: the Judge of Israel, and of the nations
• ..and what Jesus our King and Judge wants…
