Church of Christ at Hagerstown

I’ve been preaching through the Gospel of Mark - using some of the Resources of Warren Wiersbe’s book: Be Diligent. (And a lot of other commentaries and study tools)

(Last week was a tough topic -presenting the End Times -since a lot of the stuff was Dispensational or preterist in nature and I presented all the different End time views) Anyways, This week we look at the Servant:

I. In Bethany - adored

II. In the Upper Room - betrayed.

III. In the Garden - forsaken.

IV. In the High Priest’s Palace - rejected.

V. In Pilate’s Hall - condemned.

Lots of meat here with addressing the Passion of the Christ.

This week’s Sermon from Mark 13 of the Olivet Discourse tells us that:

I. Don’t Be Deceived.
II. Don’t Be Discouraged.
III. Delight in my Words.
IV. Day is Unknown.

This week we’ll be looking at Mark 11, 12 and the Servant in Jerusalem.

We’re looking at the Servant as:

I. King

II. Judge

III. Prophet.

This Sunday our study is from Mark 10.

Jesus gave us five important lessons that can be expressed in five succinct, paradoxical statements.

I. Two Shall be One.

II. Adults shall be as Children.

III. The First Shall be Last.

IV. Servants shall be Rulers.

V. The Poor become Rich.

This past Sunday - the sermon was on Jesus’ Secrets and how we should apply these principles to our lives.

Here are the 3 principles from Mark 8:27 through Chapter 9.

I. Suffering Leads to Glory.

II. Power comes from Faith.

III. There is honor through Service.
