Could Jesus have just been fulfilling Old Testament prophecies on purpose? As we finish chapter 11 in our study through the gospel of Mark today, that question arises, and this preacher’s answer might surprise you. https://youtu.be/y-FMe_DKQno

From Sunday: In Mark 11:1-25, Jesus teaches us through a series of events about knowing and believing God’s promises, preparing to respond to His coming with worship, and the power of praying in faith without doubt. https://youtu.be/OY3zknxX3Yw

Today we return for another installment in our series from last summer on the power and necessity of prayer for success in the Christian life, with a look at corporate prayer in Acts 12.

The last healing Mark’s gospel tells us about, in 10:46-52 teaches about prayers of faith, and gives a beautiful spiritual picture of salvation and subsequently following Christ to be used of Him and reach the lost. https://youtu.be/SLvPZ-eb15k

Do you have some catching up to do? Here’s the whole playlist so far of our ongoing sermon series through the gospel of Mark:

In Mark 10:32-45 Jesus helps us reflect on what He was facing going to the cross, and provides us a map to honor in His kingdom after He has saved us. https://youtu.be/iDcUev7HTQQ

If you want to save yourself, Jesus tells you in Mark 10:17-31 how to earn God’s acceptance. (You won’t like it.) But if you’ll let Him do the saving, He goes on to tell you what reward you can earn afterward. https://youtu.be/w0CTNiUsRSw

From Mark chapter 10 verses 1-16. What is Jesus’ teaching on divorce, and what did He mean when He said we must receive the kingdom of God like a child in order to enter?

Some very difficult, but very important words from Christ, in the gospel of Mark 9:38-48, as our study through that book continues today. https://youtu.be/xT4udQWy2wg

Our study of 1 Samuel closes with the sad story of Saul’s death, but a message of hope and of God’s faithfulness to the faithless found in his burial.

In 1 Samuel 29-30, David’s long wait to become king is almost over. But he is going to have to endure one more very difficult trial before Saul’s demise.

Today’s message from 1 Samuel 28, on the beginning of the end for Saul, is a sad story, and an important cautionary tale for us. https://youtu.be/wrso9W_6VLQ
