Mark Sermon Series
Below you will find the guiding scriptures for each Sunday sermon between Epiphany and Easter of 2011. Below each Sunday scripture lesson you will find extra weekly readings that will fill in the gaps between Sundays and prepare you for the material in the week ahead. Although extra reading is not mandatory to understanding the weekly sermon, it will provide a stronger and more intimate experience with Mark’s account of Jesus the Messiah as we travel toward Easter morning together.
