The Cost of Control | The Gospel of Mark: From Throne to Cross and Back

This week, we will be studying Mark 10:17-31 under the theme “The Cost of Control.” Here, we find a wealthy, moral man who runs to Jesus asking how to gain eternal life—but Jesus exposes the one thing he cannot let go. We discover salvation begins where our self-sufficiency ends, because what is impossible for us is possible with God.

Series Summary: Fast-paced, urgent, and relentlessly focused on Jesus, the Gospel of Mark shows us not just what Jesus said, but what he did. Written for a Roman world hungry for power, Mark introduces a surprising King - one who comes to serve, to suffer, and to give his life for many. Over the coming weeks, we’ll walk this road with Jesus, from the wilderness to the cross, discovering how the Servant-King’s actions reveal the true good news - and what it means to follow him as disciples who take up our own cross and trust him with our lives.
