The Gospel of Mark
The Cry, The Curtain, The Confession
March 24, 2024 • Brian Agovino
Mark finally proves his point, the one he said he was going to lead us to in the first verse of his gospel, that Jesus is the Son of God. And the confession comes from one of the most unlikely characters which gives us hope that we too are invited to make the same confession.
The King of the Jews

It can be difficult for us to see the bigger picture at times. Mark 15 is a case where Pilate, the Jews and the Crowd missed that Jesus wasn't a political king or the king of the Jews, He reveals Himself as the king of King with an eternal Kingdom.
The Abba Prayer

Jesus is about to experience the cross and in a powerful display of humanity He goes before God with a raw and powerful prayer request. Jesus shows us that because He knows God as Abba He believes that all things are possible and He therefore prays boldly and surrendered.

Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God who came to redeem us from the bondage of sin and establish a new covenant with us based on His grace. Through this passage we’ll seek to understand why we celebrate the Lord’s Supper (Communion) as a church. We’ll examine the depth and power of the gospel that has redeemed us, is redeeming us, and will one day redeem us.

Over 300 verses in the New Testament talk about the return of Jesus, and yet Christians seem so confused about it. Not only are there lots of views but it seems that we rarely ever engage on the topic or consider the return of Christ. This week we tackle Jesus's exhortation to the disciples to alwasy be ready for His return.

The second most defining mark of a Christian is that they love others. The challenge of this mark is that love is vulnerable, risky, messy, observable and costly. Jesus doesn't just call us to love this way, but loves us in that extravagant way to be the foundation for His followers to be loving people.
