In Mark 14 and 15, we see Jesus stand before two different councils. In these passages, we catch a glimpse of Jesus walking in perfect obedience to God’s plan, while the religious leaders reveal their hypocrisy. The question we need to ask ourselves is how we can follow Jesus’ example of obedience—and how easily we, too, can drift into hypocrisy.

Vulnerability plays a vital role in discipleship. In Mark 14, we see Jesus model vulnerability with His disciples, inviting them into His struggle and sorrow.

In Mark 14:10–21, we see Judas on his way to betray Jesus. Judas had spent three years with Jesus—hearing His teaching, witnessing His miracles, and being near Him daily—yet he never truly knew Him.

In Mark 14:1–9, we see a powerful example of what single-minded devotion to Christ looks like. How can serving in the church be an expression of that same devotion? What does it require to serve in this way, and how can we pursue it even in a busy season of life? Justin and Joe sit down to discuss these questions.

Looking back at Mark 13, Justin and Joe discuss what it means to be alert and awake as we anticipate the second coming of Christ. How can we live in light of His return, and where do we need to grow as a church?
