An Empty Tomb

Mark 16 - 27.06.2010
An Empty Tomb
From the series: "Who is This?" - Irony in the Gospel of Mark

Mark has acted as a skillful tour guide, taking his readers from the River of Jordan to Jerusalem, from the height of a mountain to the lows of a Roman Cross.

And in the end there is only one place left to take us: an empty tomb.

The Upside-Down Kingdom

Mark 10: 35-45 - 13.06.2010

Glory can be described as: "the quality of splendid, remarkable appearance".

We've seen his glory revealed on a mountain, in miracles, on his entrance into Jerusalem; but all of these pale in comparison to his moment of greatest glory.

What is Jesus' greatest moment of glory, and what does that mean for those of us following him?

Preaching Demons

Mark 1, 3, and 5 - 30.05.2010

Jesus said to the storm "Peace. Be still."

And the chaos calms, the wind dies down, and the waves subside.

And the disciples look at each other and say "Who is this?" "Who is this man, that even the wind and the waves obey him?"

"Who is this?"

This is the question that runs through the book of Mark, and the answer lies in the most unexpected places.
