Sermon on Mark 14:66-72: The Perils of Peter

It might have been a garden, I don’t know, but it was a courtyard of the high priest and how he reacted in that situation and then how…

So again, Mark 14, 43 to 50, and Matthew 27, three to 20, this is God’s holy word. And immediately while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs from the…

Peter said to him, even though they all fall away, I will not. And Jesus…

Scripture is Mark 14, verses 1-9. This is God’s Holy Word.

Sermon on Mark 13:24-36: The Olivet Discourse: After Tribulation

And then He will send out the angels and gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of…

Sermon on Mark 13:14-23: The Olivet Discourse: Flight

Mark 13, 14-23. This is God’s Holy Word. But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be, let the reader understand.

And let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And, alas, for women who are pregnant,…

David himself calls him Lord, how then can he be his son? A…
