Mark 12: Corrupt Temple Judged, Resurrected in David's Lord ☧

Rev. George Murdaugh, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Douglasville, Georgia, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Mark 12. Jesus ☧ is both the new David and the new Temple—twin truths woven together in Mark 12. While the crowds gladly listened, the majority of the scribes, Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees banded together in opposition. They try to win back the crowds because ☧’s talk of the Messiah and the resurrection was revolutionary. ☧ called them out on their corruption and hypocrisy of putting Caesar before God. Risen in Christ, we still respect Caesar, but we obey God foremost in all things.
