Mark - Session 8 - Jesus Serves

January 14, 2024 • Andrew Calamaro • Mark 10:32–45

Most people are served by someone on a typical day. A waiter brings a glass of water. A driver allows you into the flow of traffic though you don’t have the right of way. How often are we grateful for those acts of service? Do we rudely get upset when the waiter doesn’t meet our standards? Do we cut someone off in traffic even when we’ve just been allowed ahead of our turn? Gratefulness for the sacrifices of others should change the way we live.

Why do we serve others?

Is it to feel good and get recognition for our good deeds, or is it to selflessly benefit those around us?

Mark - Session 12 - Jesus Sacrificed

Have you ever ordered at a drive-through speaker, only to discover when you arrived at the window that the person in the car ahead of you had paid your bill? It’s an awkward feeling to accept food for which you didn’t pay. Jesus paid the penalty for everyone on the cross.

Mark - Session 11 - Jesus is Willing

February 4, 2024 • Andrew Calamaro • Mark 14:32–42

A commitment to the Father’s will should impact all of our decisions. Jesus is our ultimate example for this as he submitted to the Father’s will, which lead Him to the cross.

Mark - Session 10 - Jesus’ Returning

Many people know the experience of waiting for a bus. At the bus stop, anxious people can be seen looking at their watches. If the bus is more than a minute late, apprehension creeps into the minds of the anxious. Can they trust the published schedule? What if something happens and the bus is not coming today? Anticipation can create excitement but can also create worry.
