How could Jesus be silent when he faced Pilate? The accusations against him were false - why did he not defend Himself? Our study of the first 5 verses of Mark 15 shows the redemptive purpose behind our Lord's actions: He chose to suffer in our place.

Three times he was asked, and three times Peter denied that he knew Jesus - then a rooster crowed, and Peter was faced with his own failure. In our study of the final portion of Mark 14, we consider how this experience shaped the apostle's character, and how God uses brokenness in our lives to enable us to serve others for His sake.

What do a leper and a paraplegic have in common? In this story from the Gospel Mark about an encounter with Jesus, both men were in need of healing, both in body and in spirit. According to Jesus, the need for forgiveness is greater than for physical healing, and as it was for those two men, so it is for us.

As we turn to the story of Jairus in our study in Mark’s Gospel, Alistair discusses two questions that confront us when we go through trials: will we allow circumstances to overturn our faith or will our faith be the basis by which we face our circumstances?

The gospels tell us of ordinary circumstances where Jesus used extraordinary power. Mark allows us to join a few witnesses to see the scene in which Christ raises Jairus’ daughter from the dead as a sign that the Kingdom of God has come.

The Bible is not just a biography nor a simple account of historical events. Above all, it is the Good News about Jesus. In this message, Alistair begins to examine the miracle of belief in three changed lives: Jairus, his daughter, and the bleeding woman.

When Jesus ate dinner among the company of tax collectors and sinners, the Pharisees were quick to criticize His actions and to diminish His legitimacy. Jesus responds by reiterating His mission, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” This message serves as a reminder that the church itself is a refuge for all, without exclusion.

There are seasons in life when keeping up with daily demands feels impossible. Before long, both our bodies and our minds are exhausted. The key to finding genuine peace and rest is not discovered in the weekend, or by escaping on vacation. True rest is only found in a relationship with God. Learn more about sustaining peace in this study from the book of Hebrews.
