Passion Week Reflection with Jeff Lucas - Day Five

In this Easter Week podcast, Pastor Jeff Lucas reflects on Jesus’ final journey to the cross looking at the account from Mark 14:1-11. When Jesus was anointed by Mary’s perfume, this offering showed that she understood a hint of all that was to come in the next few days. She anointed him for burial. It’s as if she was saying to Jesus “I’ve heard you. I listened when you said you were going to die, even when others protested that it must never be allowed to happen. I don’t understand but I believe what you say. Let me help prepare you for the journey ahead." You can listen to the full episode by clicking here.

Passion Week Reflection with Jeff Lucas - Day Six

In this Easter Week podcast, Pastor Jeff Lucas reflects on Jesus’ final journey to the cross looking at the account from Mark 13:1-31. Jesus gives a description of the turmoil that would come. Nobody relishes trouble, and while we might struggle through it, we should not be surprised by it. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world!” (Jn 16.33). But then He goes on to describe the ultimate triumph that will be ours in Him in His coming. There may be trouble now, but glory is coming. You can listen to the full episode by clicking here.
