The Offense of Jesus | The Gospel of Mark: From Throne to Cross and Back

Jesus is rejected in his hometown—not because he lacks power, but because their hearts are closed. People's unbelief doesn't change who Jesus is. Jesus is our Savior even when he's misunderstood. Our doubts or other people’s opinions don’t cancel Jesus’ authority or compassion. God doesn’t measure you by how others respond to you. Our job is not to control outcomes; it's to trust and obey. God loves working through everyday faithfulness.

Series Summary: Fast-paced, urgent, and relentlessly focused on Jesus, the Gospel of Mark shows us not just what Jesus said, but what he did. Written for a Roman world hungry for power, Mark introduces a surprising King - one who comes to serve, to suffer, and to give his life for many. Over the coming weeks, we’ll walk this road with Jesus, from the wilderness to the cross, discovering how the Servant-King’s actions reveal the true good news - and what it means to follow him as disciples who take up our own cross and trust him with our lives.
