While the disciples continue to struggle to understand Jesus, Jesus encounters a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus declares his faith in Christ and asks for his sight to be restored. Jesus heals Bartimaeus and, in doing so, continues to point the disciples to his gospel mission. When our friends and families fail to recognize Jesus for who he is, we ask in faith for God to grant them sight.
1. A blind beggar (v. 46)
2. A persistent faith (vs. 47-48)
3. The Son of David (vs. 49-50)
4. The power to save (vs. 51-52)

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. Our weakness (vs. 26-31) Songs: Call Upon The Lord #7051501 by C Brown & S Furtick 2015 © Be Essential Songs Yes I Will #7105442 by E Hoagland, J Smith & M Fieldes All Essential Music Build My Life #7070345 by B Younker, K Martin, K Kable, M Redman & P Barrett © Said And Done Music Jesus Paid It All #4689508 by J T Grape, E M.

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.
