Holy Week 2021

March 28, 2021

The sermons for Holy Week follow the Gospel of Mark chapters 11 - 15.

PALM SUNDAY

"From The Fig Tree"

Based on Mark 11 - 13.

“From The Fig Tree” is about two times when Jesus teaches a lesson asking His disciples to think about a fig tree. The first was a tree that responded to a curse that Jesus spoke which turned into teaching about faith and prayer. The second was when Jesus was in the Temple teaching about His second coming. How does the fig tree connect us to the “Good News” according to Mark? 


MAUNDY THURSDAY

"Poured Out" 

Based on Mark 14:1-42.

Jesus prepares His disciples for what is to come during Holy Week, and on Thursday night He shares a sacred meal. It is a meal that connects us to Good News about Jesus that Mark shares in his writing. And today it is a meal that equips us to keep following Jesus. 

In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus says that His blood is “poured out.” What is poured out? The blood of “the new covenant”.  And why is it poured out? It is poured out “for many.” These words take us back to the first covenant God makes with His people and forward to the mission of God’s people, today. 


GOOD FRIDAY

"Truly"

 
In the climax of Mark’s Gospel, it comes down to a question from the High Priest, which is later answered by a Roman centurion. Everything in the Gospel of Mark builds up to the moments where we see most clearly who is “Jesus Christ, Son of God.”  In our Lord’s own words before His accusers, and in the words of a Roman centurion, Jesus is revealed at the very moment that brought us salvation. 
 
Bethany's services can be attended in person and they are broadcast live and on demand on our website and on Facebook and You Tube.
