Betrayal Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 30, 2012

Many times when we look at the portion of Mark 14 involving the arrest and trial of Jesus we focus on Judas - the betrayer. But Mark shows us that many more than Judas betrayed Jesus that night, and it shows us how short we fall and how great our Savior r

Beginning in Mark 14:43 we shift from Jesus being the source of the action to Him being acted upon by others. He becomes very passive except at a few key moments, on His way to the cross. In a way, what we see in this portion of Mark 14 is the failure of mankind. In several key ways, man abandons ...read more

Why Peter Failed

Contributed by Steven Kellett on Mar 18, 2016

Peter failed because he ignored Jesus warning and slept when he should have been preparing (praying).

Luke 22:31-34: 31"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. 32But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." 33But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death." 34Jesus answered, "I ...read more

Remember The Rooster

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 19, 2016

Sooner or later the cock is going to crow, and if it's like the rooster across the way from my house, it could be...at any time! Like Peter, we are sinners in need of a Savior. But, like Peter, we have a hint that the rooster is going to crow, eventually, no matter what.

Happy "Crowing" Saturday, Everyone! There is a rooster that lives across the road into the valley below on my neighbors farm. That crazy bird will cock-a-doodle-do anytime of the day. What a crazy bird! He reminds me of the lesson this week. This week's Sunday School lesson is from Mark 14. The ...read more

At look at what happens when we come to the Bible with a preconceived agenda.

Humble Thyself

Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019

Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ had been betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, as all four Gospel writers describe in their works.
