Podcasts about Mark 15

How many holes can you go without a double (or worse)? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg to compare to very different skills levels (scratch and 15-index) at double-bogey avoidance. After Greg gives what might be the least accurate answer in the history of the Saturday Stat, the guys get it back on the rails and discuss ways to avoid the card-wreckers.Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.

June 28, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   In this sermon-style episode Hiram walks through Mark 14–15 and the life of Barabbas to show how the Gospel confronts each listener personally. Using the betrayal, Jewish trials (Annas, Caiaphas), and Jesus' appearance before Pilate as the backdrop, the sermon explains why the crowd demanded Barabbas instead of Jesus and how envy and deception drove that choice. Hiram outlines three clear parallels between Barabbas and every person: (1) we are guilty and condemned (drawing on Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, Psalm 51, Romans), (2) the world lies to us and deceives us about what will truly satisfy (referencing Genesis, 1 John, Hebrews, and cultural examples), and (3) Jesus steps into our place—taking the punishment we deserve so we might be offered forgiveness and new life (explained with Luke 23, 2 Corinthians, Isaiah 53, and other texts). The episode surveys many biblical cross-references (Isaiah, Psalms, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, John, 1 Peter) and contemporary illustrations—like Project Innocence and modern cultural temptations—to show the timelessness of the message. The preacher emphasizes self-examination, the danger of rationalizing sin, and the need to see ourselves in Barabbas rather than only in the crowd condemning him. Key takeaways: honest confession of guilt, awareness of worldly deception, and the central Christian claim that Jesus took our place on the cross. The episode closes with a pastoral invitation to respond—repentance, confession of Christ, baptism, and pastoral support for those struggling with sin. Guests: none.   Duration 28:57

We've been doing Saturday Stats for 3 years now: it's time for a best of! In today's episode, we pull up two classics. The Saturday Stat episodes have become a standard because they might have the best banter and bits, but also because our regular listeners have built up a storehouse of reasonable expectations. Let's see if you can recall these answers from episodes on putting and driving, while enjoying some of the best moments in Stat history!Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

Mark 15:6-15

He is risen- Did the disciples of Jesus steal His body to stage a resurrection? Were the reports of eyewitnesses seeing Jesus risen from the dead the result of some mass hallucination? There are theories out there that try to discredit the resurrection of Jesus, but none of them are credible.

Secret disciples- Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus had the privilege to care for the body of Jesus after His death. Pilate granted permission to Joseph to take the body for a proper burial. Although their faith was secret, what these men did for Jesus will always be remembered.

It is finished- Jesus paid a debt He didn't owe on the cross, so you and I could accept the free gift of salvation through faith. We could never earn God's favor by our own works. Be careful of the "Jesus and" gospel that preaches salvation through faith in Jesus, plus works.

God forsaken of God?- We all experience loneliness at some point in life. In the darkness on Golgotha, Jesus was crucified and mocked, forsaken by man, and God the father. Jesus experienced the most extreme form of isolation, so we never have to.

The Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated annually on July 1 and honors the blood shed by Jesus for humanity's redemption, specifically focusing on the blood shed during the Passion as described in the New Testament. The entire month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood, focusing on Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, his resurrection, and the Eucharist. HJT15.

Long Live the King – Mark 15:40-16:8 by Redemption Church

We often talk about managing expectations for particular shots. What are reasonable expectations for a full round? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg about a 10-index golfer: in a typical 18-hole round, how many birdies, bogeys, and doubles will he make? When the dust settles, the guys give advice for reducing the number of big numbers—the key for most golfers to make the biggest improvement in their scores.Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

Program for 06/24/26 Covenant Community Church: Mark 15:1-39

Send us Fan MailWhat made Pontius Pilate, the man named in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, send an innocent Jesus to the cross despite knowing the truth? In this powerful look at Mark 15:1-15, the episode examines Pilate as a failed Roman governor who recognized Jesus' innocence and the envy-driven motives of His accusers, yet still delivered Him up for crucifixion.Through vivid historical context and sharp leadership analysis, the teaching exposes Pilate's critical mistakes: knowingly perverting justice, outsourcing his responsibility to the crowd, choosing appeasement over righteousness to avoid unrest, and ordering the brutal scourging and crucifixion of an innocent man.This episode delivers sobering, practical lessons for anyone in leadership about the high cost of weak choices and the blessings that come from doing what is right, even when it's hard. A must-listen for anyone wrestling with integrity under pressure.

Not every par 72 is the same. In this episode, Lou sends out the good golfers—scratch and 5 index—to "hard" and "easy" courses (distinguished by their course rating).

The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 15, part 1

Pastor Tim continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Mark by unpacking the end of the chapter, 15:21-47. 

We arrive at the cross. There is noise: soldiers mock, crowds jeer, religious leaders scoff, and dying criminals revile Jesus. Curiously, Mark spends more time recording the contempt surrounding Jesus than describing the crucifixion itself. And that is not by accident. This Sunday in Mark 15, we will see how Jesus endured the shame.

If you were writing a story about the Son of God, Mark chapter 15 is probably not the story you would write. Jesus is arrested, mocked, beaten, humiliated, and executed — and through almost all of it, He is completely silent. No protest. No retaliation. No escape. And He had every power to do all of those things. So why did Jesus choose surrender? That's the question we're sitting with today, and I think the answer changes everything about how we understand not just Easter, but every hard and unresolved season in our own lives. We walk through the full weight of what's happening in this chapter — the crowd that was shouting Hosanna just days earlier is now demanding Barabbas. Pilate, conflicted and cowardly, bends to the pressure. Jesus is crucified between two criminals, mocked by the very people He came to save. And darkness covers the land for three full hours. I want us to really sit with what the cross meant in Roman culture — this was the symbol of highest shame, of total defeat, of public humiliation. The word excruciating literally comes from the Latin word for crucifixion. And in the middle of all of that, at the very moment when Jesus cries out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" — that is the moment theologians point to as when He took the sin of the entire world onto His shoulders and experienced, for the first and only time, separation from His Father. That cry? That is the most painful moment of all of it — not the nails, not the mockery, but the weight of sin creating distance from God. And then He says it is finished. And the temple curtain tears in two. Here's why that matters so much: that curtain separated the people from the presence of God. Only one priest, once a year, after elaborate ritual, could enter that space. When it tears — it tears because the barrier between us and God is gone. Forever. Through the breaking of Jesus's body, we now have full access to the presence of God. No more separation. No more curtain. This is not just a personal salvation transaction. This is a cosmic shift in how the world works. And it happened in what looked like the darkest, most defeated moment in history. So whatever unresolved, silent, confusing season you're in right now — I want you to know that Jesus has been there. He has gone before us in the silence, in the suffering, in the feeling of God's absence. And because He did, we never have to experience real separation from God again. What Does It Mean for Me? Can I trust God when circumstances feel unresolved? Can I trust God with the unknowns in my own story? What does surrender look like for me today? What does it look like to actually surrender at the foot of the cross, knowing that Jesus has taken my sin upon his shoulders? If I knew I was right with God — today, tomorrow, and the rest of my life — how would I feel? How would I act? What would I do? If I can't get there yet, what would that freedom even feel like — and what would it look like to move toward it? Want More?

Pastor Tim continues our series through the Gospel of Mark by unpacking Mark 15:1-20. 

Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate. The crowd is demanding crucifixion. The religious leaders are driven by envy, and the Roman governor sees clearly what is right yet chooses comfort over conviction. In many ways, Pilate's struggle is painfully familiar. What happens when faithfulness becomes costly? What do we do when the truth disrupts our carefully managed lives?

By this point, we know that we want to avoid short-siding ourselves. But should we think about uphill vs downhill chips? In this episode, Lou offers Mark and Greg a handful of scenarios with Tour players around the green. They have different amounts of green to work with, but some chips are uphill and others are downhill. What effect does that have on scoring? And stay turned for Lou's bonus question: it adds an unexpected wrinkle to the data.Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

Scratch is a aspiration for most amateur golfers, and it's a very good standard of play. How good?

Once again, we have a green light: 120 from the hole in the fairway. How different are amateurs and pros? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg how 10 and 20 index golfers compare on this shot to a Tour pro.

From the same yardage, better golfers are, well, better. Duh. But better golfers most often are hitting less club from the same distance. If a scratch golfer and 15-index both have a pitching wedge from the fairway, won't they hit the green at a similar rate? That's the question the Lou puts to Mark and Greg. Once they settle the winner for the weekend, they talk about the advantages of a better player, and how we all can hit more greens in our next rounds.Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.
