Lesson 7 - The One Who Is the Good TeacherMark 10:1-45. Baited by Pharisees who wanted to arrest Him, questioned by an eager young man who wanted easy answers, and faced with disciples who wanted to realize their own ambitions — Jesus showed Himself to be an incredible teacher. He fearlessly challenged false assumptions. He revealed the true nature of God's kingdom and set a perfect example for His disciples to follow. But most of all, He told His students the truth. It may have made them uncomfortable — but it also made them what they needed to be.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Mark 14:53-15:20a // Brooks NesseAs a divine King, Jesus is subjected to earthly judgment and humiliation. This sermon examines his trials before the Jewish council and Pontius Pilate, and his mocking by soldiers. The narrative presents a stark contrast between Jesus' quiet dignity and bold declaration of his identity with the crowd's clamor for his death and Peter's heartbreaking denial.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49520025 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2509/responses/new25.11.16
In this week's episode of An Apprenticeship to Jesus: Gospel of Mark Study, Nick Oyler explores Mark 5, where Jesus frees a man possessed by a legion of demons. This Bible study podcast offers practical lessons on spiritual freedom, faith, and trusting God's power in the storms of life.

A Few Minutes In The Gospel Of Mark Part 9: He Sent Them Forth - English only. Mark records in chapter 3 that Yeshua selected 12 apostles. He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of Heaven, and to heal people. While this assignment may have been shocking to His 12 followers, the significance of Yeshua's action is vital for us to grasp! Recorded September 28, 2022.
Jesus asks a question that turns everyone's expectations upside down: Who is the Messiah really? In Mark 12:35–37, He shows that the Messiah is not just David's son—but David's Lord, the risen King who reigns with full authority now. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that Jesus is not a political figure or a distant teacher, but the divine King who sits at the Father's right hand and calls for our worship and allegiance.
Crescent Church Sunday Morning Service - 9th November 2025
In Mark 15, Jesus stands trial before Pilate, silently enduring false accusations and injustice as the true “King of the Jews.” While Pilate recognizes His innocence, he yields to the pressure of the crowd, releasing Barabbas, a guilty man, in place of the sinless Savior. Jesus is mocked, beaten, and crucified, fulfilling Psalm 22 with remarkable precision as He suffers rejection, scorn, and physical torment. His death is accompanied by divine signs, the tearing of the temple curtain and the confession of a Roman centurion who declares Jesus to be the Son of God. Amid widespread fear and betrayal, a few faithful followers, including Joseph of Arimathea and the women who had ministered to Jesus, demonstrate courage and devotion by caring for His body. This passage exposes the contrasting human responses to Jesus, fear, unbelief, and faith and invites reflection on how we respond to the crucified King.
Pastor Tim continues through our sermon series in the gospel of Mark by unpacking 3:20-35.
This message continues our series through the Gospel of Mark. We explore a story where Jesus finds Himself among people of questionable reputation. Yet this scene is far more than a moment of social tension—it is deeply theological, revealing the heart of God's kingdom and what life looks like when grace welcomes sinners to the table. Scripture Referenced: Mark 2:13-17

Lesson 6 - The One Who Came to SufferMark 8:27-9:47. Truly the turning point of Mark's Gospel, the question Christ posed in Mark 8:29 — “Who do you say I am?” — altered the disciples' journey. Peter's glorious confession — “You are the Messiah” — led to the sobering call to follow that Messiah to their own cross of sacrifice and death. Glimpses of glory on the mountain were eclipsed by jealous arguing among the disciples. And they were left to consider Christ's serious warning that if not dealt with, pride and selfish ambition could ruin many.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
Mark 8:27-33 is the literary hinge as Mark shifts from the ministry of Jesus in the Galilee region, toward His "Journey to Jerusalem" in the latter half of the book. Pastor Isaiah explains how Peter's confession of finally seeing the truth of who Jesus is challenges us as we consider the same question, "Who do you say that Jesus is?"

A Few Minutes In The Gospel Of Mark Part 8: That They Might Accuse Him - English only. Yeshua had healed a man with a terrible affliction, but not everyone was pleased with the miracle. The story compels us to ask a question. How do we react when God blesses others? This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded September 15, 2022.
When asked which commandment matters most, Jesus gives an answer that reshapes all of life. In Mark 12:28–34, He shows that everything God desires flows from two loves—loving Him fully and loving others genuinely. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that the Kingdom isn't about rules or rituals, but about a relationship that starts with devotion to God and overflows in compassion toward people.
We continue a series looking at Elizabeth Shively's "Purification of the Body and the Reign of God in the Gospel of Mark." To read the script for this episode, complete with citations, head over to my website - www.amateurexegete.com.
In Mark 14:26–72 we follow Jesus from the Passover table to Gethsemane, the pressing place, where He faces the full weight of sorrow, betrayal, and denial. Despite the disciples' confident words, their roots are shallow and they fall away under pressure. In the garden Jesus models both deep anguish and perfect surrender: “Abba, Father… not what I will, but what You will.” His obedience in the face of unanswered prayer becomes the foundation of our relationship with the Father. As Judas betrays Him, the disciples scatter, and Peter denies Him, the darkness deepens, but within it shines the steadfast love of God, who sent His Son to die for us while we were still sinners. In our own “pressing places,” we are invited to watch and pray, to strengthen our spirits through surrender, and to trust that God's will, though costly, always leads to redemption.

Mark 14:1-31 // Jonathan NeefIn the final hours before his crucifixion, Jesus is at the center of starkly contrasting actions. A woman anoints him with expensive perfume in an act of beautiful worship, while Judas Iscariot agrees to betray him.

Lesson 5 - The One to Bless All the NationsMark 7 and 8 are full of challenges. Jesus confronts the Pharisees' ideas about defilement and uncleanness, drawing attention to the heart instead of outward show. He challenged the disciples' ideas by taking them into Gentile territory and doing mighty works there — healing a demon-possessed girl, a deaf/mute and a blind man. He fed 4,000 with just a few loaves of bread. And then He called His own hard-of-hearing, not-quite-seeing disciples apart to do the same for them …To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

In Mark 8:22-27, Jesus responds to the plight of a blind man who is brought to Him in very unexpected ways. Pastor Isaiah draws two key lessons from this text, challenging us to see Jesus as the God who may move in mysterious ways, but is always good, so we can grow in our faith by learning to trust Him and seek clearly spiritual sight as we navigate through even the challenges and struggles of this life.

Mark 3 — Key Events 1. Jesus Heals on the Sabbath In the synagogue, Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand. The religious leaders watch closely, hoping to accuse Him. Jesus asks: “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” When they remain silent, He heals the man — revealing God's heart for compassion over legalism. 2. Crowds Follow Jesus From Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and beyond, people come to see Jesus. His miracles draw many, and even unclean spirits declare Him the Son of God. 3. Jesus Appoints the Twelve Apostles Jesus calls and appoints twelve men to be His closest followers, sending them out to preach and giving them authority to cast out demons: Simon Peter James & John (Sons of Thunder) Andrew Philip Bartholomew Matthew Thomas James son of Alphaeus Thaddaeus Simon the Zealot Judas Iscariot 4. Confrontation with Religious Leaders The scribes accuse Jesus of working by the power of Satan. Jesus responds with the famous teaching: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He warns against blaspheming the Holy Spirit — a sin with eternal consequences. 5. Redefining Family When His mother and brothers come looking for Him, Jesus declares: “Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

A Few Minutes In The Gospel Of Mark Part 7: Who Can Forgive Sins? - English only. When Yeshua told a man that his sins were forgiven, some of the scribes were furious! The scribes asked, "Who can forgive sins except for God?" Messiah's response illustrates an important aspect of faith. This is a rebroadcast of a podcast originally recorded September 15, 2022.
The Sadducees came to test Jesus—but ended up revealing their own blindness to the truth. In Mark 12:18–27, Jesus confronts their unbelief and reveals that resurrection life isn't just a continuation of this one, but a complete transformation. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that our God is not the God of the dead, but of the living—and because Christ rose, every grave that belongs to Him will one day be empty.
In this week's passage, Jesus and his closest friends gather around the table for two significant meals within just a few days of his trial and crucifixion. As we observe the various motives and conversations among Jesus' friends and enemies during these two meals, let's invite Jesus to reveal himself in a fresh way to us. May we be open to the Holy Spirit to convict and refine any broken motives in our own hearts, so that we too may worship Him with a heart like the woman from Bethany.
In today's passage, we see Jesus spending time on the Mount of Olives with his inner circle of disciples. It's an intimate conversation about the future and coming difficulties, yet Jesus encourages them to see beyond the coming struggle to His return and ultimate victory. Jesus gives a series of warnings so that no one leads us astray, and we don't become alarmed when trouble comes. Instead, He calls us to stay awake, be on guard, and continue to learn and understand His Word, so that we may endure to the end.
This week Pastor Tim continues our series in the Gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 2:23-3:6.
We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark as we explore Jesus as the Healer. Mark offers us a vivid snapshot of just twenty-four hours in the life of Jesus. In this brief yet beautiful account of His healing ministry, we discover profound truths about how to bring our own areas of brokenness before Him. This passage reveals what characterizes healing in the kingdom of God and how both healing and the absence of it can ultimately point us to something far greater. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:29-34

Lesson 4 - The One Who Shepherds His PeopleMark 6:7-56. Things were speeding up in Christ's ministry; and the disciples were plunged into a steep learning curve in this week's lesson. Thankfully, their teacher was called The Good Shepherd, because things got hard very fast. Their first mission went well; but then they were challenged by the needs of a hungry multitude and another violent storm on the sea — this time without their Master in their boat! How would they respond to the lessons they were given? With belief or unbelief?To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
In Mark 8:11-21, the Pharisees teach us a valuable lesson on the wrong way to approach God. After refusing to respond to their demands, Jesus took His disciples away and asked them the penetrating question, "Do you still not understand?" Pastor Isaiah shares two valuable lessons from this text before leading the church family in receiving the Lord's Supper. Preached 10/26/25.
