Calvary Chapel Elk Grove-Gospel of Mark

Imagine the joy that the followers of Jesus must have experienced on Resurrection Sunday, and in the days to follow. Seeing Him alive after such a horrible death must have made their hopes come alive once again as well. Before ascending to the Father, Jesus commissioned His disciples to go, preach the good news, and make disciples. That's our calling as well. We'll learn more about that today as we come to the conclusion or our study in the Gospel of Mark. Here's Pastor Phil. Original Message: 6/29/1995

We're thankful that you've joined us for our study through Mark's Gospel. Today we come to the cross.

Pastor Phil will take down this path today as we join him in Mark chapter 15, verse 21. Original Message: 6/8/1995

The path leading to the cross would become an excruciatingly painful one for Jesus. A terrible scourging would proceed the nails that were yet to come.

The time had come, and as Jesus said, the hour of darkness. As He finished praying, Judas would arrive with the soldiers to arrest Him. But it was Jesus who was truly in control of this situation.

The grace and mercy of Christ is unfathomable, even extending the opportunity for forgiveness to His own betrayer.

We all have an idea in our heads about what Jesus was like. Compassionate, approachable. As we turn to Mark chapter 11, we see Jesus angry. And that seems strange.
