Podcasts about Mark 12

Founding Pastor at Large Bob Flayheart continues our walk through the second half of the Book of Mark, a series started in the Spring of 2024. If the first half of Mark is all about who Jesus is, the back half is about what he's come to do. Jesus upsets all his disciples' expectations for the Messiah by relentlessly pointing them towards the necessity of the cross while also showing his heart for us because; as awful as the cross is, he never turns away from it. He has come not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The cross is ever before Jesus, and he would have it be ever before his ransomed people as we follow after him.

In this message, Pastor Steve Spence shares a powerful word on biblical giving, unpacking Mark 12:41-44—the story of the poor widow who gave everything she had. Building on last week's message about our eternal purpose and responsibilities as citizens of heaven, Pastor Steve calls us to view our finances not through a lens of obligation, but through the lens of worship, trust, and maturity.You'll be challenged to rethink the role of money in your life and to consider how giving reflects the posture of your heart before God. Whether you're new to the idea of tithing or have walked in this principle for years, this message is a timely reminder that God doesn't need your money—He desires your heart. Our prayer is that this message will strengthen your faith and encourage you to live generously in your walk with the Lord.Join us live on Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 10:30 AM, and Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM.

How does Jesus respond to difficult questions? What can we learn from His example about navigating tough questions given to us? In Mark 12:13–37, we will discover how Jesus turns conversational traps into opportunities for truth and transformation.

Lead Pastor Caleb Click walks through the second half of the Book of Mark, a series he began in Spring 2024. If the first half of Mark is all about who Jesus is, the back half is about what he's come to do. Jesus upsets all his disciples' expectations for the Messiah by relentlessly pointing them towards the necessity of the cross while also showing his heart for us because; as awful as the cross is, he never turns away from it. He has come not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

We have been invited into God's story – his people & his mission. Everything we have is from his hand. And yet,we want to think we belong to ourselves. Jesus tells this parable to remind us that we are stewards, not owners.

Pastor David and three other pastors discuss the message from Mark 11.

In the final week of Kingdom Economics Pastor Nick Newman brought a message from Mark 12. When we trust God and give him access to what He has given us, He will redeem it for good. We need to give God access to every aspect of our lives, surrendered access leads to supernatural provision. This message was recorded live on March 16th, 2025.

Is God worthy of our worship and praise? If so, how can help lead our hearts into genuine worship of Him in times where we may not feel particularly worshipful? Learning how to lead our hearts according to the gospel rather than to be led around by how we feel in a particular moment is an important part of our discipleship. Learning to present our bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1) and to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30) are part of that process. As we explore our value of being 'a worshiping people,' we talk about the choice to engage our minds, mouths, and even our physical bodies in praising God, and the promise that accompanies Christ's invitation to do this.

ThemeThis podcast explores the Parable of the Tenants from the Bible, focusing on its interpretation and relevance to Christian teachings. It discusses the concept of entitlement as a justification for sinful behavior and emphasizes the consequences of rejecting God's authority. The lecture draws parallels between the parable and the rejection of Jesus by religious leaders, highlighting the importance of accepting Jesus as God's Son and serving him as King.Jesus tells a parable about a man who plants a vineyard and leases it to tenantsThe tenants repeatedly reject and harm the servants sent by the landownerThe tenants ultimately kill the landowner's son, thinking they will inherit the vineyardThe parable is directed at the Jewish religious leaders who were rejecting JesusJesus warns that those who reject him will lose their privileged statusThe concept of entitlement is discussed as justifying sinful behaviorJesus quotes Scripture about the rejected stone becoming the cornerstoneThe religious leaders understand the parable is about them and become angryPeople must choose to either reject or serve Jesus as KingThe parable illustrates the consequences of rejecting God's authority"Either you reject the king or you serve the king."-- [Coalt Robinson] 《Mark chapter 12》"To be entitled to something just means that a person thinks that they deserve it for some reason."-- [Coalt Robinson] 《Mark chapter 12》"The stone that the builders rejected, will become the chief cornerstone"-- [Coalt Robinson] 《Mark chapter 12》A story told by Jesus about a landowner who plants a vineyard, leases it to tenants, and sends servants to collect his share of the fruit. The tenants mistreat and kill the servants, and finally kill the landowner's son. The parable illustrates the rejection of God's messengers and His Son by the religious leaders.KeypointsExplanationThe parable uses the vineyard as a metaphor for Israel, the tenants represent the religious leaders, the servants are the prophets sent by God, and the son represents Jesus. It illustrates how the religious leaders repeatedly rejected God's messengers and ultimately rejected and killed Jesus, leading to their loss of privileged status in God's plan.ExamplesConsiderationsThe parable teaches about the consequences of rejecting God's authorityIt highlights the importance of recognizing and accepting Jesus as God's SonThe story warns against feelings of entitlement that can lead to sinful behaviorSpecial CircumstancesIf encountering a situation where one feels entitled to something not rightfully theirs, how should it be addressed? Reflect on whose it is to give and whether the desire stems from sinful coveting.The concept of entitlement as a justification for sinful behavior, particularly in the context of desiring or claiming something that doesn't belong to oneself.KeypointsExplanationIn the context of the parable, the tenants felt entitled to the vineyard because they had worked on it, despite it belonging to the landowner. This sense of entitlement led them to reject the owner's authority and commit increasingly violent acts. The lecture extends this concept to everyday situations, urging listeners to be cautious of feeling entitled to things that aren't rightfully theirs.ExamplesConsiderationsBe aware of feelings of entitlement in daily lifeConsider whether you have the right to make decisions about the things you feel entitled toRecognize that entitlement can be a form of covetingSpecial CircumstancesIf encountering a situation where you feel strongly that you deserve something, how should it be addressed? Carefully examine the source of this feeling and whether it aligns with God's teachings on humility and contentment.Next time you think you deserve something, consider whose it is to give and whether your desire might be a form of entitlement or coveting.TakeawaysHighlightsChapters & TopicsParable of the TenantsEntitlement and SinAssignments & Suggestions

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: The Bible: God's Word as the Ultimate Authority On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: This is one of those Scriptures that when I read it, I feel like I might be missing some important background information in order to really understand it. Is that the case? So what you are saying is that in order to know God and to love God, we have to first listen? Tell us how the Lord speaks to you through the Word. Have you ever read a passage that seemed to directly address a situation you were going through at that very moment? The reading for the day is: Numbers 4:1–5:31 Mark 12:18-37 Psalm 48:1-14 Proverbs 10:26

It begins with the parable of the vineyard workers. They attack the owner's delegates and eventually kill his son. The result was wrath from the father and the destruction of the murderers. The Jews know Jesus is talking about them, so they send inquisitors to try and trap Jesus in His words. They ask Him about paying poll taxes to Caesar. Jesus responds by saying to give Caesar his taxes. They ask about a seven-time widow and her marriage in heaven. Jesus responds with divine wisdom about eternity. They ask about the greatest commandment, and He responds perfectly with the law of love. These prideful men are set in contrast with the humble widow who contributes all that she has to God.   The widow at the end is praised by Jesus because her devotion to God is real and sacrificial. She is fully committed to God, while many others only give out of their surplus. She is the opposite of the Jewish leaders. The parable at the beginning is about killing the son of the owner so they can have the vineyard. The motivation is selfishness and greed. All their questions for Jesus are about diminishing Him so they don't have to submit. Their main priority is themselves and what they can get and keep. We are challenged to be less like them and more like the widow at the end. It cannot be about us and Him. We must choose Him. Benevolent Father, You are a gracious gift giver and we have all that we could ever need. Help us to see this in Jesus and His church and to flee the temptation to be greedy and worldly. The Pharisees turned against Jesus because He sought a seat of authority in their hearts that they wanted for themselves. Father, forgive our selfish thinking and any greed or envy that is born of it. Train us to trust Jesus and never to question His wisdom. Humble us to be like the widow, freely giving all that we have to You.   Thought Questions: -       How does your life change when you see yourself as belonging to God, instead of seeing God and His creation as merely gifts for you? -       The Jews asked hard questions of Jesus. We may ask some as well. What is the right way to approach your King when asking for clarity? -       Most believers are somewhere between the ones giving out of surplus and the widow giving all she had. How do we grow in this area?

Send me a Text Message!So many, not all, but so many leaders reject(ed) Jesus. Why is that? I think one of the reasons people reject Jesus is because they think he (and God) is a taker and not a giver. Isn't that one of the reasons why people reject Jesus?  We have this idea that I can do life better; I can live more, get more, succeed more without Jesus in the picture. Jesus is a taker.  He wants to take my fun, take my money, take my friends, take my plans, and in return for that he'll let bad things happen to me. Do you understand the ultimate statement behind this view of God, this view of Jesus? I can't trust him. Dr. R.T. Kendall, calls it "The Betrayal Barrier." It's that moment when God seems to let us down and we have to decide, "can I trust Jesus? Is Jesus a giver or a taker?

Nobody thinks that five cents is greater than five hundred dollars—except God! To Him, what matters most is the sacrifice and honor. Anything we do for the Lord that costs us something is honorable and pleasing to Him. Jesus sacrificed His life for us—surely we can give to Him our tithes and offerings, knowing all the while that He blesses those who trust in Him.
