Radical Trust Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 2, 2012

Mark wrote nothing by accident in his gospel. Just prior to the arrest of Jesus, he presents a stark contrast between those who think they have it all and those who have nothing. Which group is which? The answer may surprise you.

As we begin this portion of Mark 12, Jesus has just finished his series of debates with the religious leaders. They’re done, but Jesus isn’t. He came to Jerusalem to first proclaim His hostile takeover—retaking for God the thing man had conformed to his own image. He proclaimed ...read more

The Victory In Jesus Part 1: Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 8, 2019

Over the years I have paid little attention to Gethsemane other than it was where Jesus prayed before his arrest. However, Gethsemane is where the spiritual victory was won. If it had not been for what happened in Gethsemane, there might not have been a crucifixion or a resurrection.

1. Survey: 85% of Americans say they pray – some a lot, some little. In fact, 20% of self-proclaimed atheists and agnostics claim to pray. There is a source of strength in prayer. We want to take a look at the key place of prayer for Jesus, Gethsemane. 2. An Overview to Gethsemane a. Jesus and ...read more
