The Coming of the King (Page 2)

New series on the Gospel of Mark called: The Coming of the King.

The Gospel of Mark unfolds the dynamic story of Jesus Christ, who arrived to establish God’s kingdom on earth, and our sermon series, “The Coming of the King,” brings this narrative to life with fresh insight. Through verse-by-verse exposition, each message reveals how Christ’s early ministry—his teachings, miracles, and interactions—discloses God’s purpose for His people to live as holy ambassadors of a heavenly kingdom. This series illuminates how Christians, as citizens of God’s eternal reign, are called to embody a life set apart, reflecting the transformative power of Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension in a world longing for hope and redemption.

The Cross Before the Crown

In our fallen nature, we want the crucified saviour without the cruciform life. But in our union with Christ, God has ordained that our path will be the path of his beloved son. If we are his and he is ours, our lives will pattern his life: and that pattern is suffering and then glory, the cross before the crown.
