What Will Be The Sign

Do Not Be Misled
Mark 12:35-13:1-6 We are warned repeatedly not to be misled in the scriptures. The only way that we can do that is to know what the scriptures say, so we need to study them and learn them.

By Whose AutHORITY?
Mark 11:27-33, 12:1-12 When someone asks a simple question with bad motives, are you obligated to provide them an answer. Jesus didn’t think so, so He asked a simple question in response.

Help My Unbelief
Mark 9:14-37 One of the hardest parts of having a mountain top experience is having to come back down and rejoin what we perceive as the real world. When Jesus was transfigured and He and His closest followers came back down, the rest of the disciples were arguing with some of the scribes. It sort of refocused the discussion off from what happened on the mountain and on to the more practical issues people were struggling with. Soon, we may…

He Does All Things Well

Blessed is the King
Luke 19:28-44 When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, it was a tremendous fulfillment of prophecy, exactly when and how God said it would happen through His prophets.
