The Scribes and A Widow
Mark 12:38-44 As Jesus concludes his public ministry, he does so with a clear and straightforward warning against the Jewish teachers, the Scribes. In doing so he contrasts their desire for recognition with the humble offering of a poor widow.
David’s Son, God’s Son
Mark 1:35-37 Jesus asks a question of the Scribes about the nature of the Messiah. Was he just a man, the son of David, or something much more. Pastor Gene looks at Jesus’s answer to that question in today’s sermon.
