Podcasts about Mark 15

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). Are these difficulty ratings accurate? How often will these good players break part on courses of different difficulty? And has Mark turned in Lou's DM guy, who doubts the numbers because it isn't what he sees?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.

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? Read along: Mark 15 Old Testament prophecy fulfilled here: Isaiah 53:7 — written 600 years before Jesus's birth Psalm connection: Psalm 13:1 — "How long, Lord, will you forget me forever?" — an honest lament for hard seasons One-sentence prayer for the week: "God, help me trust that your silence is not the same thing as your absence."

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. 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.

So Close to the Cross, Yet So Far From the Christ, Mark 15:16-24

We continue in Mark 15 verses 38-47.Here our Lord, having died, Mark records that the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. This points to its divine origin. This veil was at least 4” thick and very heavy. Our Lord died crying out with a loud voice, not a weak one. The roman centurion, in seeing and hearing Him, made this confession “Truly, this man was the Son of God”. How did this soldier hear that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Later in this passage, we see Joseph of Arimathea, asking for the body of Jesus in order to bury Jesus in his own new tomb also recorded in Matthew 27:57-60.Our Lord's burial fulfilled Isaiah 53:9 He “was with a rich man in His death..” In Mark 15:38, here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

This is a sermon preached by Hobie Bond at Maranatha Community Church Pickerington on 5/17/2026.

It was the 6th hour, noon by Jewish reckoning, darkness covered the whole land. Jesus is on the cross.Mark records that at the 9th hour, that is 3pm, Jesus cried out to God asking why He had forsaken Him, quoting Psalm 22:1.Dr. Mitchell gives us the benefit of the death of Christ found in Romans 3:24-26.Jesus became and still is the propitiation for our sins because of His blood poured out at the cross. In so doing, God's righteousness was vindicated and now God is free to righteously forgive sins in mercy without compromising His holiness. Not only that, the one who believes in this Lord Jesus Christ, God can now justly declare as saved from those sins for all time and eternity. Is this not the best news?Here is Dr. Mitchell with the good news of Jesus Christ, ⁠Mark 15:33-38 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, .

Scratch is a aspiration for most amateur golfers, and it's a very good standard of play. How good? In this episode, Lou brings three different stats about scratch golfers, and Mark and Greg attempt to guess how a scratch player would perform in each. The answers might be surprising—and will absolutely contribute to all of us managing our expectations.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.

This episode is a study about Good Friday, with Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel Chino Valley. This message was taught on April 3rd, 2026.

We are now in Mark 15:25-32, Mark recording the events surrounding the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.An inscription written on a board nailed atop the cross proclaimed Jesus, “The King of the Jews.” The crucifixion began at 9 o'clock in the morning. Here Jesus was crucified between two thieves, one on the left and the other on the right. Jesus thus fulfilled Isaiah 53:12, “He was numbered with the transgressors.” Dr. Mitchell points out the Savior's obedience to the Father. He took on Himself all the sins of the whole world from the beginning of time till the end of time. He has even taken upon Himself your sin and mine for all time and eternity. Have you received this blessed Savior as your own? Here is Dr. Mitchell as we see Jesus, Mark 15:25 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

This lesson begins in Mark 15:1. Dr. Mitchell reviews the first 14 verses. Here Jesus is before the civil court of Pilate who asked the Jewish leaders, What evil has He done? Then we continue in verse 15. Here Pilate wanted to please the crowd so he released a murder, Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be crucified. What follows is the scene when the soldiers mocked Jesus and beat Him with a reed and unnecessarily slapped His face repeatedly. Dr. Mitchell brings out several O.T. scriptures fulfilled by our Lord's crucifixion, Ps.22 and Isa.53 and Psalm 69. While on the way to Golgotha, the soldier commandeered a man to help carry Jesus' cross, Simon of Cyrene. Our Lord, on the cross, refused to drink the wine mixed with myrrh, a drug used to deaden the pain. Here is Dr. Mitchell Mark 15:1 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

For the past several weeks we have stood at the foot of the cross, witnessing the unimaginable suffering, shame, and wrath our Savior endured for our sins. We have heard His cry, seen the veil torn, and watched even a hardened Roman centurion declare, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” And we know what comes next, the glorious resurrection! But before we see the women finding the empty tomb and hearing the good news, we need to pause at the tomb and hear Mark's account of Jesus' burial. The burial of Christ is an often-overlooked part of the good news. But the Jesus and the Apostles proclaimed it. The Burial is recorded in all four Gospels, proclaimed as part of the gospel by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and foretold by both Jesus and the Old Testament prophets. The burial of Jesus is not an afterthought but an essential part of God's story. This Sunday, we will look at Mark 15:42-47, and we will do things a little differently than usual. In the first point of the sermon, we will walk through the straightforward account of Jesus' burial and then, look at four powerful reasons why the burial matters deeply to our faith. When we rightly understand how the Scriptures speak of Jesus' burial, it is no wonder why Paul proclaims that believers are "buried with Him in baptism" and "raised to walk in newness of life" (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12). I. The Burial of Jesus (Mark 15:42-47) II. Why Jesus' Burial Matters Proves The Son of God Really Died (Matt. 27:62-65) Proves God Really Is Able & Faithful To Fulfill His Word (Matt. 12:40; Isa 53:9) Proves The Son Of God Rose Really From The Dead (John 20:6-9; Acts 2:29-31) Proves That Our Debt Really Is Paid In Full (Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12)

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. And perhaps a lot of 10s and 20s have their expectations set by the Tour numbers, rather than reality closer to home.Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

20 Proverbs 24-25; Exodus 17-23; 19 Psalms 57-62; 41 Mark 15-16; 42 Luke 1-2

On today's episode, Jesus is crucified on the cross, fulfilling the Scriptures concerning the suffering servant. Though there isn't enough time to cover every instance, we can quickly say that Jesus was the fulfillment of Isaiah 53, for he was “despised and rejected by men” and “a man of suffering.” He is the one who “bore our sicknesses and carried our pains.” He is the one who “was pierced because of our rebellion” and “crushed because of our iniquities.” Furthermore, “he was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth.” At the cross, we see, not only a pivotal point in gospel of Mark, but a turning point in God's redemption of mankind.” :::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 Sunday, we will finish the sermon we began last week. Mark 15:21-41 is the climax of the book and what all of redemptive history has pointed toward. Jesus, the Son of Man, will give His life as a ransom for many, as He said earlier in Mark. Last week, we went into great detail describing the suffering and shame of the cross as Jesus. We discussed the vicious scourging that left Jesus too weak to carry the cross and the horrors of a Roman crucifixion. We also bore witness to the unrelenting mockery heaped upon His head from the various people around the cross, including the theives crucified with Him. As Jesus is crucified as a substitute for sin, He bears the suffering and shame that sin brought into the creation. However, the worst is yet to come. Mark 15:21-32 (last week's text), surveyed Jesus' first three hours on the cross (9am-12pm). This Sunday, in verses 33-39, darkness will descend upon the land as the Father pours out His wrath on the sins of a multitude no one can number, all heaped upon the head of the sinless Son. The torment of such judgment is so great that Jesus cries out “Why have you forsaken me?” quoting Psalm 22:1. Though it seems easier for us to understand the awful physical suffering of the cross, nothing can compare to the torment Jesus experiences as His Father pours the cup of His wrath upon His Son. We will examine this in depth on Sunday. Yet, in the midst of this day of great darkness, we also see the power of the cross. That power is displayed when Jesus dies, atoning for sin, and God tears the thick curtain in the temple, forever opening access to His presence through Jesus' sacrifice. Moreover, the power of the cross also changes hearts. A Roman centurion who had no doubt witnessed many crucifixions sees the way Jesus dies and says, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” I am looking forward to diving into this text with you that we may see the cross in all its terrible beauty. III. The Judgment of the Cross (33-36) IV. The Power of the Cross (37-41)

What did Jesus' death really accomplish?In this message from Mark 15, Pastor Bayless Conley walks through the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, revealing the depth of His sacrifice and what it means for us today. Be reminded of the price He paid and the presence of God made available to us because of it.

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. 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.
