Podcasts about Gospel of Mark

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey, He was showing the world what kind of King He is. He came in humility and peace, fulfilling a prophecy spoken centuries earlier, while the crowds welcomed Him with shouts of “Hosanna!” from Psalm 118. What they didn't realize was that this moment also lined up with the choosing of the Passover lamb—a picture of Jesus offering Himself as the sacrifice for our salvation. The triumphal entry reminds us that Jesus is both our King and our Lamb, and like the donkey that carried Him, we're called to bring His presence into the lives of those around us and turn over control of our lives to him.

Pastor Tim continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 1:14-20. 

This message marks the beginning of a 5-month journey through the Gospel of Mark. Mark wastes no time confronting us with the reality of Jesus—the Messiah who calls us to follow Him with our whole lives. We launch the series with two pressing questions: What makes Jesus distinct? and What does it mean to prepare the way for Him? These are not just questions to ponder, but a call to live differently in light of the Gospel. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:8

Reuben wraps up our series in the Gospel of Mark, looking at Chapter 16. Preached at Horsham Downs on 28/09/25.

Jesus isn't just looking for leaves—He's looking for fruit. In Mark 11:11–14, we see a fig tree that looked alive but was empty, a picture of Israel's outward religion without true righteousness. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that real life in Christ comes from abiding in the Vine, not just looking spiritual on the outside, and calls us to examine what fruit God is growing in us today.

Pastor Tim continues our series "The Gospel of Mark" by unpacking Mark 1:9-13.

This passage tells the story of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who recognized Jesus as the Messiah even before he received healing. Despite being silenced by the crowd, Bartimaeus cried out all the more, and Jesus stopped, called him near, and restored his sight. Jake highlighted that Jesus not only heals but brings complete wholeness (sozo): body, mind, and soul. Bartimaeus moved from sitting by the roadside to following Jesus on the way, a reminder that true faith both saves and transforms. As believers, we are called to encourage others to “take heart” and not become obstacles for those who are desperately trying to reach Jesus.

The Gospel of Mark: The Gerasene Demonac

The Force of Truth

A Few Minutes In The Gospel Of Mark  Part 4:  They Left Their Nets  -  English only.  Messiah called several fishermen to follow Him.

In this episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Elizabeth Shively show some love to the shortest gospel and tell us why it shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to understanding the Messiah. Walking through the book's literary framing of apocalypse, suffering, and discipleship, Elizabeth presents Mark's gospel as an invitation to get to know the human Jesus.

As Jesus is making his final approach to Jerusalem, He engages in some important conversation with his disciples. He prepares them with full transparency of his coming arrest, suffering, his death on the cross, and ultimately his resurrection. This sparks several conversations with the disciples regarding their own coming persecution, for some their martyrdom, and the need for patient endurance among his followers. Jesus reminds them that in His Kingdom, there is no grasping for power and control. Just as Jesus lays down his life for many as the servant of all, His followers are also called to lay down the pursuit of power and control and live as his bond-servants here on earth.

Pastor Tim continues our sermon series through the book of Mark by unpacking Mark 1:1-8.

Jesus rides into Jerusalem not with military might, but with humility and purpose. In Mark 11:1–10, prophecy is fulfilled, crowds cry Hosanna, and the true Kingdom is revealed—not political power, but spiritual redemption. This week, Pastor Korey invites us to lay down what we cling to and follow the King who saves through sacrifice.

Mark 7:1-13 speaks a powerful word against external practices that are disconnected from genuinely faith-filled hearts. Pastor Isaiah exorts us to consider our own lives and actions in light of the warning that Jesus gives and the promise of the power of the Gospel to change our internal state so that all our external actions can be true worship!

A day in the life of Jesus

Let There be Disciples

A Few Minutes in The Gospel of Mark  Part 3:  Mark Chapter 1 And Psalm 91  -  English only.  When Matthew and Luke recorded the story of the 40-day temptation in the wilderness, they included quite a few details.  Mark seemed to gloss over the event.  He even omitted the reference to Psalm 91 which Satan quoted during the temptation. Or perhaps, Mark did NOT ignore Psalm 91, but presented it in a different light!   This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded September 8, 2022. 

This sermon from Mark 10:17–31 shows us that while the rich young ruler came eagerly to Jesus, he was unwilling to surrender the “one thing” that held his heart: his wealth. Jesus reveals that every person has something they may cling to that threatens to take His place, whether it's possessions, pride, control, or comfort. Out of love, Jesus calls us to let go of whatever holds us back and follow Him completely. Though surrender feels impossible in our own strength, God makes the impossible possible through His Spirit. True life and lasting riches are found not in holding tightly to temporary treasures, but in releasing them to embrace a real and eternal relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Tim starts off our new sermon series in the Gospel of Mark by doing an overview of the context and what to expect as we go through this Gospel.

In Mark 9:30–50, Jesus redefines true greatness for His disciples. While they argued about power and position, Jesus pointed them instead toward humility, servanthood, and purity. He embraced a child as an example of receiving the least and warned His followers to take sin seriously, guarding both their own hearts and the influence they have on others. Greatness in God's kingdom is not about prestige or control, but about sacrifice, holiness, and living at peace with one another. True greatness looks less like power and more like purity, as we live as salt in the world for the sake of Christ and His Kingdom.
