Jesus before Pilot (Mark 15:1-20)Presented by Jace Broadhurst Have you ever stopped to think about why people don't immediately bow the knee or scream out "hallelujah" when you tell them the good news? I mean, we do have the greatest news in the world, don't we? Doesn't it only make sense that everyone would immediately ask what they must do to be saved? Of course, the easy answer why this doesn't happen is sin. But Mark 15:1-20 gives us four responses from unbelievers to the glorious good news that we proclaim. Their responses range from apathy to violence as do our modern day responses. I hope that as you listen to this you will be reminded again of the beautiful news that while you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you.

You know, the trial where you are being accused of being a Christian. The one that if you are convicted means certain death. I wonder how strong I would be. This week we will contrast the trial of Jesus with the trial of Peter. One will stand strong, one will not. Ask yourself and your family how your or they would fare if accused. Would there be enough evidence? And if there was, would you be able to stand? Read through Mark 14:53-72 this week and concentrate on Peters denial of Christ. There is so much for us to to take from this passage even 2000 years later.

That perhaps you are being judged too harshly when, after all, you are doing your best. God surely wasn't fair to Haiti, was He? C. S. Lewis had a phrase for this kind of thinking--"God is in the dock." We mere mortals deem ourselves worthy of judging God. In Mark 14:53ff, Jesus is tried and found guilty of blasphemy. It was a sham trial to be sure and yet it as absolutely vital that it take place. It's all leading to the greatest events ever imagined--the judge of all the earth being judged, tortured, and killed. But there's more. . . we'll talk about that more on Easter. Only 6 more weeks. . . I can't wait.

Judas and Jesus in the Garden (Mark 14:43-52)Presented by Jace Broadhurst I can't imagine the betrayal some of you must feel. To have been loved intimately and then abandoned is nearly impossible to recover from. This week we look at the betrayal of the Christ, by his close friend.
