7 - The Widow's Offering Mark 12:35-44

February 24, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom

While his opponents fail to recognize Jesus for who he is, Jesus warns his followers of those who give only the appearance of faithfulness. When a poor widow makes a small contribution, Jesus commends her generosity and faith. We need remember that God looks at the heart and, though our efforts may not be celebrated by others, God sees and recognizes our faith.

1. Veiled glory (vs. 35-37)
2. Hidden hypocrisy (vs. 38-40)
3. Unrecognized devotion (vs. 41-44)

10 - The Passover, Mark 14:12-31

March 31, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom

The disciples seek to make preparations for the celebration of the Passover and Jesus foretells of his coming betrayal. At the Passover meal, Jesus institutes what we will come to call The Lord’s Supper and identifies himself with the bread and the cup. When Jesus foretells of Peter’s coming denial, Peter emphatically rejects it. When we approach the Lord’s table today, we are reminded of his body given for us and his blood shed for the forgiveness of our sins. 1. His plan (vs. 12-16) 2. God’s purpose (vs. 17-21) 3. His sacrifice (vs. 22-25) 4.

9 - The Plot, Mark 14:1-11

March 17, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom

As the chief priests and scribes sought to arrest Jesus and have him killed, they found a willing accomplice in Jesus’ disciple Judas. Despite their secrecy, Jesus was not naïve to what awaited him and praised a woman for her generous outpouring of love in preparation for his burial. Though some of the disciples viewed it as wasteful, Jesus declares her devotion will be remembered wherever the gospel is proclaimed. 1. They were seeking to kill (vs. 1-2) 2. She was wanting to bless (v. 3) 3. Some chose to scold (vs. 4-5) 4. Jesus calls for honor (vs. 6-9) 5. Judas decides to betray (vs. 10-11) Songs: Great Things #7111321 by J Myrin & P Wickham Phil Wickham Music Life Defined #7107554 by S Barnard Songs From Wellhouse We Fall Down #2437367 by Chris Tomlin 1998 http://worshiptogether.com songs Jesus We Love You #7030068 by H McClure, K Heiligenthal & P McClure 2014 © Bethel Music Publishing Worthy Of Your Name #7052927 by B Younker & S Curran © sixsteps Music

8 - The End of the Age, Mark 13:1-37

March 10, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom

While no one knows the day of Jesus’ return, Jesus encourages us not to fear the coming judgment, but rather to live each day in light of his coming. We must trust him in the midst of the suffering we may encounter and remain steadfast in our commitment to him. Confident in his victory, we live in great anticipation of his glory to come. 1. Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple (vs. 1-4) 2. Jesus prepares his people for the future (vs. 5-23) 3. Jesus looks forward to his return (vs. 24-27) 4.
