    Two revolutionaries stand before the people--Jesus and Barabbas. Barabbas represents a revolution by violence and power, and Jesus a revolution of love. The crowd chooses Barabbas

    Mark 15:1-20 “Friday—Following Revolutionaries” INTRODUCTION As a student of history and of people, I have often wondered why some people are attracted to groups and activities that are abhorrent to others. For example, why did the people of Germany elect Adolf Hitler to ...read more

    One man, and one man only is wholly competent to tell us the story of the death of Jesus. That man is this roman centurion. It was this centurion, who sent his band of men across the brook Kedron in the soft moonlight to arrest Jesus.

    Hark 15:39...And when the centurion who stood facing him,saw that he so cried out, and gave up the s p i r i t , he said surely t h i s m a n i s t h e S o n o f G o d . ; S U R E L Y One man, and one man only is w h o l l y competent to tell us the story of the death ofJesus.

    Why It's So Easy To Shift From Honoring God To Mocking Him

    A look at the mock "worship" that the soldiers give Jesus and five ways we too often mock Him in our everyday Christian lives.

    THE SOLDIERS' MOCKERY: The soldiers’ “worship” was a mockery because their actions and words didn’t match their heart. - Mark 15:16-20. - It’s interesting when you dig down into the passages just how much they mimic a worship experience in their mockery of Jesus: a. ...read more

     | 11,910 views

    Before Jesus reached the cross, He faced unspeakable torture at the hands of the Roman soldiers. There are accounts of soldiers flogging prisoners to death. The point of flogging was to bring them close to death so the crucifixion time would be shortened.

    INTRODUCTION Easter is three weeks from today. We’re counting down the last 94 hours before the disciples discovered the empty tomb. I’m calling this “94 Hours that Changed the World.” We’ve already walked with Jesus from the last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane ...read more

    Jesus died when He wasn't guilty - for us when we were guilty. The price of freedom, both civil and spiritual, is innocent blood

    Innocent Blood Mark 15:15-41 • As we have worked our way through the gospel of Mark, we have learned many things. It has been more than a little interesting how we have “stumbled” on to the perfect text for the perfect day. It is no accident that we are where we are today! ...read more

    Heart Trouble

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jul 15, 2014
     | 3,795 views

    The Scripture teaches that persecution comes from every side to those who live like Jesus. Living for Jesus is radical. It is intrinsically counter-cultural. To walk like Jesus we walk against the flow of our culture.

    Heart Trouble Mark 15:1-20 Jesus before Pilate 1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2 Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the ...read more

    Crucifixion According To Mark Mark 15:16-39 Matthew wrote to the Jews John wrote to the who so ever Luck Wrote to the Gentiles Marks appears to be writing to the Romans.
