Tune in as Pastor Leighton finishes up his series through the Gospel of Mark:
“The rush and violence of crucifixion, the blazing reality of their master’s death, the shock of it all was too much to bear and no one remembered, let alone trusted, his words of hope. Mark chapters 8, 9, and 10 tell us that on at least three separate occasions Jesus foretold not only his death but also his resurrection. And everything, everything else he ever spoke to them had come through… so why not believe this?
Church, they couldn’t, no amount of logic or arguing, pleading or exuberance can force anyone to believe in the risen Lord. Understanding and belief of this, is purely and only a gift of God, lest humans boast that they figured it out on their own. Found salvation on their own. No, Faith is a gift, and it would be given to them soon.”
