Questions of Faith - Is Christ’s Resurrection fact or fiction, and is it really important? - Part 4

Join Michele as she looks at Christ’s resurrection and why it’s foundational to our faith as Christians? Do we have any information outside of the Bible that speaks about the resurrection of Christ?

Lesson 12 - The One Who Brings us to the Father

Join Michele in Mark 15:1-16:20. Events moved quickly after Christ’s arrest in the Garden. The religious leaders wasted no time turning Him over to Pilate to accomplish their long-awaited goal. The true Passover Lamb was silent before all those who abused Him, absorbing all the hatred and brutality…refusing every opportunity to diminish the cup of suffering He had come to drink to the ...

Gospel of Mark - Lesson 11 - The One Who Chose God’s Will

Join Michele Telfer in Mark 14:17-72. What should have been a holy night of remembrance for the disciples became one of intense fear and confusion. Christ’s predictions of betrayal and desertion alarmed them. Peter’s brave words rallied them briefly; but not for long. Their beloved Master was arrested by those who sought His death, beginning the long hours of suffering He wou...

Lesson 10 - The One Who Prepares the Way

Join Michele Telfer in Mark 13:1-14:11. Christ’s last Passover week has arrived. His enemies are increasingly desperate to stop Him before the feast begins. The disciples are disturbed by the warnings He gives and begin to wonder what the future really holds. In the midst of all the drama, a poignant act of loving devotion and a bitter betrayal both point to what lies ahead. And behind the sc...

Lesson 9 - The One Without Fault

Join Michele Telfer in Mark 12:13-44. Christ’s enemies were getting desperate. Like the priests in the Temple rigorously examining the sacrificial lambs for the smallest of spots or blemishes, they were seeking any false word, any false step to condemn Him. But in each confrontation, Jesus proved Himself to be without fault before God and man. And in just a few days, He would freely offer Himself as ...

Lesson 8 - The One Who Is the Promised Son

Join Michele Telfer in Mark 10:46—12:12. Mark now takes us into the last week of Jesus’ life. The journey begins on the back of a humble donkey and ends in a tense standoff with religious rulers determined to silence Christ at any cost. In between, a blind man receives his sight, a precious friendship is called upon, a fruitless fig tree becomes a lesson in faith, and righteous anger upends...

Lesson 7 - The One Who Is the Good Teacher

Mark 10:1-45. Baited by Pharisees who wanted to arrest Him, questioned by an eager young man who wanted easy answers, and faced with disciples who wanted to realize their own ambitions — Jesus showed Himself to be an incredible teacher. He fearlessly challenged false assumptions. He revealed the true nature of God’s kingdom and set a perfect example for His disciples to follow. But most of ...

Lesson 6 - The One Who Came to Suffer

Mark 8:27-9:47. Truly the turning point of Mark’s Gospel, the question Christ posed in Mark 8:29 — “Who do you say I am?” — altered the disciples’ journey. Peter’s glorious confession — “You are the Messiah” — led to the sobering call to follow that Messiah to their own cross of sacrifice and death. Glimpses of glory on the mountain were eclipsed by jealous arguing among the disciples. And they ...

Lesson 5 - The One to Bless All the Nations

Mark 7 and 8 are full of challenges. Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ ideas about defilement and uncleanness, drawing attention to the heart instead of outward show. He challenged the disciples’ ideas by taking them into Gentile territory and doing mighty works there — healing a demon-possessed girl, a deaf/mute and a blind man. He fed 4,000 with just a few loaves of bread. And then He calle...

Lesson 4 - The One Who Shepherds His People

Mark 6:7-56. Things were speeding up in Christ’s ministry; and the disciples were plunged into a steep learning curve in this week’s lesson. Thankfully, their teacher was called The Good Shepherd, because things got hard very fast. Their first mission went well; but then they were challenged by the needs of a hungry multitude and another violent storm on the sea — this time without their M...

Lesson 3 - The One Who has the Victory

Mark 4:35 – 6:6. This lesson pictures the complete victory Jesus offers us. He rules over nature, over demons, even over death itself. He is Lord over all. But Mark reminds us it’s also about what do we do with the claims of Christ. We can accept them like Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood, receiving what He promises and more. Or we can reject them like the Gerasenes and the people o...
