Podcasts about Mark 14

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, the pastor explores Mark 14, where Jesus and His disciples sing a hymnfull of themes of distress, steadfast love, sacrifice, and ultimate triumph right before heading to the Mount of Olives. Jesus then predicts that all the disciples will fall away and specifically tells Peter he will deny Him three times before the rooster crows twice, despite Peter's passionate vow to die rather than deny his Lord. The “good news” shines through the failure: Jesus was proven right , He remained unshaken in His love even while knowing their deepest weaknesses, and their scattering was never the end—He promised resurrection and restoration in Galilee. This story offers profound hope: Christ knows our failures completely, loves us anyway, and turns even our greatest denials into testimonies of His grace and faithfulness.

In Discipleship Weekly we discuss the week's sermon text, sharing insights, questions, and how it might apply to us. This week Ryan Cagno talked with Carmen Dones about worship - its meaning and power, and the different ways we need each other for our worship to be complete.

Have you ever been absolutely sure you'd hold up under pressure — until you didn't? That's Peter's story in Mark chapter 14, and honestly? It's most of our stories, too. Peter is one of Jesus's closest friends. He's bold, he's passionate, he's all in. And when Jesus tells him that before the rooster crows twice, Peter will deny knowing Him three times — Peter can't even accept it. Even if everyone else falls away, I won't. He means every word. And by the end of that same night, he's standing by a fire, cursing and swearing that he has never met this man. Here's what I don't want us to miss: this isn't a story about Peter being uniquely weak or uniquely bad. This is a story about what fear does to all of us, faster than we expect. Fear reshapes our behavior before we even realize it's happening. We also spend time in the Garden of Gethsemane, where we get one of the most raw and human moments in the entire Gospel. Jesus — fully God and fully man — is on His knees asking His Father if there is any other way. He's not performing. He's not distant. He is agonizing. And while He's drawing on the strength of His Father through prayer, His disciples are... asleep. Again and again. And that difference — Jesus prepared through prayer, the disciples unprepared through sleep — that's the whole point. Because here's the thing about being spiritually alert: you don't build it in the moment of crisis. You don't decide to run a marathon the day of the race. The courage to follow Jesus under pressure is built in the quiet, daily, unsexy work of being in His word, staying in prayer, and paying attention to what God is doing around you. If your spiritual life feels like an insurance policy you're just keeping current — I want to gently say, you are missing out on so much of what Jesus actually came to offer. So this week I'm asking you to sit with one question: Is there any place in your life where you're following Jesus at a distance? Because that's where the gap is. And that's exactly where Jesus wants to meet you. Want More?

Pastor Julius continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 14:43-72. Also...one correction is Pastor Julius said Jesus changed Cephas's name to Peter. That is incorrect because that is the same name. Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter (Cephas). 

What is Jesus Worth to You – Mark 14:1-31 by Redemption Church

In Gethsemane, Jesus falls to the ground in anguish and prays, “Take this cup from me.” Why? What was Jesus seeing in that moment? Why was the Son of God overwhelmed with sorrow “to the point of death”? And what does His suffering reveal about the cross? In this message, Pastor Andy Davis explores one of the most sacred and mysterious moments in the Bible — the night Jesus chose the cross. This message covers: - Why Gethsemane is holy ground - The crushing weight Jesus faced before the cross - What it means that Jesus willingly submitted to the Father - How Jesus succeeded where Adam failed - Why prayer matters in moments of temptation and suffering - What true surrender to God looks like Jesus was not trapped. He willingly went to the cross for sinners. And in Gethsemane, we see the greatest display of courage in history and the Savior who willingly suffered so sinners could be forgiven.

It is well past midnight. In the high priest's residence, the Sanhedrin has assembled, hunting for a charge. In the courtyard below, Peter warms himself at a fire, trying to look inconspicuous. He has followed Jesus: close enough to keep him in sight, yet careful and quiet enough not to be named as a follower. And at the center, under arrest and abandoned by his friends stands our Savior.

Though Jesus did not find it good to defend himself, he did find it worthy to gout of his way to  make it abundantly clear by a 5 way statement that He indeed was the divine messiah.  You cant have Jesus without embracing this claim of his.

What would it look like to give your very best to Jesus — not what's left over, not what's convenient, but your actual best? That's the question sitting at the center of Mark chapter 14, and it comes to life through one of the most striking contrasts in all of the Gospels. In the same passage, on what feels like the same night, we have a woman who breaks open an entire year's worth of perfume and pours it over Jesus's head — and a disciple who slips away from the table to sell Him out for money. Devotion and betrayal, side by side. Mark puts them there on purpose, and I think we're meant to feel the discomfort of that. Here's what gets me about the woman: nobody defends her. The people at the table — including the disciples — moralize about what a waste it is, what the money could have done for the poor. And Jesus steps in and says, leave her alone. She did what she could. I want us to just sit with that for a second. She did what she could. Not what was expected. Not what made sense to everyone else. What she could. And Jesus says that every time the gospel is preached, people will remember what she did — which is remarkable when you consider that women in that culture had no vote, no voice, and no property rights. And then there's Judas — the one holding the money bag, the one moralizing about how the perfume should have been given to the poor — who is at that very moment plotting to hand Jesus over for cash. The irony is impossible to miss. You can be religious and still be completely missing it. You can be physically close to Jesus and have a heart that's miles away. We also spend time in the upper room, where Jesus takes the Passover meal — one of the most sacred remembrances in all of Judaism — and completely redefines it. The bread is His body. The wine is His blood. He is the Passover lamb. The freedom from bondage that God's people had been celebrating for centuries? Jesus is saying that's me. That's what I'm about to do. And this table, He says, is for everyone — the devoted and the broken and even the betrayer. So here's the question I'm leaving with all of us today: what would costly devotion actually look like in your life right now? Not in theory — in practice. Is it your time? Your forgiveness? A relationship you've been holding at arm's length from God? What would it look like to bring your whole heart? Want More?

The Difference between Obedience and Failure | Mark 14:32-72 | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Send us Fan MailWhat if every detail of your life was already part of an eternal plan, and the only question is whose plan you're following?  In this powerful episode the VC walks through Mark 14:12-25 as Jesus meticulously arranges the final Passover meal with supernatural precision while announcing His betrayal. With the shadow of the cross looming, the teaching masterfully contrasts Jesus' beautiful, ancient, and unstoppable plan of redemption  against Judas and Satan's dark scheme of betrayal. You'll be challenged to examine whether you're living in anxious self-reliance or in trusting obedience to the Master's plan, and confronted with the sobering reality that there are only two plans in the universe. Whose side are you really on? A timely, hope-filled message you won't want to miss.

Pastor Tim continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark by unpacking chapter 14:1-42. 

 We're going to reenact the story- this is what Jesus meant for us to do“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:26)• in this ritual, there is the potential of a profound encounter• he has given us something:◦ for our eyes to see◦ for our ears to hear◦ for our hands to touch◦ for our mouths to taste◦ for our minds to contemplate◦ for our souls to receive- I am going to present this to you as a devotional thought• what I mean, is something other than a Bible study tracking the literal meaning of each word• instead, this is what I perceive happening in these few verses 

Mark 14:43–52 is one of the darkest and chaotic moments in the Gospels, filled with betrayal, fear and swords. Friends scatter. Everything feels unstable and undone. And yet right in the middle of the chaos stands Jesus, calm, clear, and utterly resolute as He walks toward the cross for sinners like us.

As we come to the trial of Jesus before the high priest, another trial is taking place outside. As Jesus stands before the highest authorities and claims, "I am", Peter stands before a servant girl and claims to not even know the man.

The Spirit and the apostles want us to know how humanity utterly failed Jesus after everything, either in wicked hatred or wicked failure and how excellently and beautifully Jesus handled Himself as he willingly chose to be put to death despite being blameless.

This is a sermon preached by David Appelt at Maranatha Community Church Canal Winchester on 5/10/2026.

Our study begins in Mark 14:65 and since Dr. Mitchell already spoke on Peter's 6 steps downward to denial in this section, Dr. Mitchell will proceed on to Mark 15:1.Dr. Mitchell shares the distinction between these two trials. The first was before an ecclesiastical court of the Jews. This next court is a civil court before Pontius Pilate. The first trial had to do with Jesus' person when He was asked if He was the Messiah the son of the Blessed One. Our Lord acknowledged, He Is.This next trial is a civil trial court and has to do with Jesus' character. Remember how Pilate said to the Jews, “What evil has He done?” in verse 14.What do you say about Jesus Christ?Let's turn to Mark 14:65 to begin. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In this lesson, Mark 14:53-64, Mark records Jesus before the council. Here the Lord is subject to a fake trial.This is a most solemn occasion in our Lord's life.The Sanhedrin, you will notice, had already decided the verdict they wanted against Jesus. They tried to find any witnesses who would testify against Christ. It says, there were many false witnesses. Then two false witnesses said they heard Jesus say that He would destroy the temple and in three days build another. To see how far off these words were from the truth, read John 2:19.The Lord Jesus remained silent up until the high priest asked him directly if He was the Messiah. Jesus said, “I AM”.Turn with us to Mark 14:53. Dr. Mitchell tells us about Jesus' trial.Your listening to the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

This is a sermon preached by Jeff Beisel at Maranatha Community Church Pickerington on 5/10/2026.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, the VC  a brilliantly “sandwiched” passage where Mark places the beautiful story of a woman anointing Jesus with a fortune in rare perfume between the murderous plot of the religious leaders and Judas Iscariot's betrayal. While powerful men scheme in secret to kill Jesus and one of His own inner-circle disciples prepares to sell Him out, an unnamed woman breaks an alabaster flask and pours out everything she has in extravagant love, anointing His body for burial. Jesus defends her against the scolding crowd, declaring her act beautiful and promising her story will be told wherever the gospel is preached. The contrast is unforgettable: outward closeness to Jesus means nothing without a heart that truly treasures Him. This message will challenge you to examine your own worship, confront the Judas inside every heart, and live with the kind of radical devotion that makes Jesus say, “What a beautiful thing you have done for me.” You won't want to miss it.

In watching Christ in his great hour of need we learn that much of our preconceived notions of prayer are fictional and often foolishly religious.  As we watch Him here, he is leaving us an example of what perfection in prayer really looks like. It is earnest, communal, non boxed or formulaic but resting on the foundation of covenanted love with his… and now our…Father, who is all powerful, all wise and all loving towards us.

We now enter into a passage that shows the Savior in prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. The Lord expressed His deep sorrow of soul at the prospect of dying on the cross. Dr. Mitchell quotes Hebrews 5:7 where it is witnessed that Jesus prayed with loud cries and tears to His Father to ask for deliverance from out of death and He was heard. Here in the garden our Lord said the Scriptures, concerning Him, must be fulfilled. To fulfill what Jesus quoted in verse 27, they all left Him and fled. Here also, Dr. Mitchell gives the 6 steps downward of Peter up to the point of his denial of the Lord.Let's open our Bible to Mark 14:32.Dr. Mitchell shows us our Savior in the Garden of Gethsemane in prayer.Your listening to the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Jesus has moved through Mark's Gospel with remarkable composure. But in Mark 14, He falls to the ground, and begins to tremble. Mark gives an intimate glimpse into the interior life of our Savior. We will see what undid Him, why He went to the cross despite praying for another way, and who it was all for.

In the last moments before Jesus would be abandoned by his closest companions, even betrayed, we find him praying to the father, as his full humanity is confronting the immense suffering he is about to endure, is it possible to do this any other way? Yet, "for the joy set before him" he submits himself to the Father's good will.

Exodus 25-26; 19 Psalms 80-82; 41 Mark 14

This is a sermon preached by Nate Johnson at Maranatha Community Church Pickerington on 5/3/2026.

Jesus cherished the delivery and celebration of his New Covenant to us wherein we could finally fellowship deeply with Him through the indwelling Spirit and gave us Communion to remember this and how it took the willing death of Jesus to accomplish it. Let us Cherish our Savior and His amazing covenant!

This is a sermon preached by David Appelt at Maranatha Community Church Canal Winchester on 5/3/2026.

On the road to the Mount of Olives, Jesus says, “You will all fall away.” Peter does not take that well. What follows is a tragic scene of a man so convinced of his own strength that he walks right past the grace intended to sustain him. This Sunday, we'll see why the grit we need cannot come from within, but must be given to us in Christ.

In Mark 14, we've come to the last Passover meal Jesus has before his crucifixion. The disciples learn that a place has been prepared for their preparation, Jesus predicts his betrayal, and identifies himself as the fulfillment of the Passover as he institutes the Lord's Supper.

This is a sermon preached by David Appelt at Maranatha Community Church Canal Winchester on 4/26/2026.

Christ has just celebrated the Passover with his disciples and now they are in a garden named Gethsemane. Other gospels tell us that this had been their pattern over the last few days, so Judas knew where they would be. When Judas arrives he kisses Jesus to identify the man they are to arrest. The mob comes wielding an assortment of weapons, and a certain young man (probably Matthew himself) is so scared that he ducks out of his clothing in order to escape their grasp. Jesus is taken to the Jewish high counsel known as the Sanhedrin where he is tried for blasphemy. It is there that Peter denies his Lord as Christ had predicted. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Jesus has a massive following, so much so that when he arrived in Jerusalem people shouted his praise as he entered. The chief priests and the scribes have been rebuked by this new teacher time and again, and are actively looking for a way to murder Jesus to put an end to this growing movement. Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 chosen from among the disciples to be an apostle, decides to betray Jesus to these men. While Judas is plotting evil, Christ celebrates the Passover with the twelve. He breaks the unleavened bread and takes the cup, saying that they are his body and his blood. Finally, Christ predicts that Peter will deny him three times. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This is a sermon preached by Randy Surface at Maranatha Community Church Pickerington on 4/26/2026.

In Mark 14:12–26, on the night of the Passover, Jesus gathers with His disciples in a room. At that table, everything is revealed. A betrayer is exposed; hearts are searched. Then Jesus takes bread and a cup, and offers not just a meal, but Himself: His body and blood given for His people.

Dr. Todd Miles brings a message from Mark 14 where, in the midst of adversarial encounters, a costly gift is lavishly poured out on Jesus.
