S10 Episode 13: Unexpected Savior - Mark 11

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 11. Jesus arrives at Jerusalem's doorstep and enters deliberately and triumphantly into the city and into the Holy Week. Mark makes a bold statement about what Jesus has come to do through another Markan sandwich. This week required a little extra cultural study to fully grasp the meaning behind the withered fig tree and the cleansing of the temple. The time has come; Jesus is about to accomplish for us what we could not do on our own.The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us.  Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better. Links Mentioned in this Episode:Stories from the Wilderness Bible study: FeastingOnTruth.com/WildernessTo Dwell in Our Midst (Tabernacle) Bible study: FeastingOnTruth.com/DwellAltar of Incense Teaching: https://youtu.be/vquY_kWkoKEFor more information on this study: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/MarkFor recommended resources: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Resources⁠For more information on studying Scripture: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/HowTo⁠Erin's books and other studies: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Books⁠For speaking inquiries: ⁠FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking
