A NEW GRACE
Read: Mark 10:32-45, Mark 11:1-11
JESUS REDEFINES THE PATH TO VICTORY. WE WANT CROWNS. HE CHOOSES TOWELS.
To lead my people means serving them in humility, not standing on your dignity.
HIS GRACE EMPOWERS ME TO TAKE ON HIS SPIRIT OF GRACE
In God’s new kingdom, exploitation and abuse of power are replaced with grace and redemption.
JESUS IS ALWAYS POINTING US TO WHAT IS COMING. WE CAN ENDURE THE MOMENT KNOWING THE GLORY THAT IS JUST AHEAD.
The greatest triumphal entry is the one awaiting you and me when we arrive in our eternal victory.

Read: Mark 10:13-31
In the kingdom of God, power and importance are flipped upside down.
Living with kingdom values means valuing the vulnerable and sacrificing for others.

In the beautiful kingdom that God invites us into, cultural norms are broken to defeat shame and death.
This passage has two important stories sandwiched together. It begins with the story of a synagogue leader (v. 22) pleading with Jesus to come and heal his dying daughter (v. 23), a story that is interrupted by the story of a woman who “had been subject to bleeding for twelve years” (v. 25). These two stories reveal an incredible aspect of the coming kingdom of God: victory over shame and victory over death.
· We are called to advocate for the vulnerable among us.
· Jesus’ brand of compassion is equal for all classes or cultures.
· The touch of Jesus transforms and purifies unclean things.

A NEW BEGINNING
Read: Mark 4:26-34, John 12:24-26, 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Seeds grow quietly but persistently. The parable of the growing seed and the parable of the mustard seed portray the amazing growth of God’s kingdom, which will reach across every conceivable barrier before its growth is complete.
SEED GROWING TIME LAPSE
So much of the process happens while you aren’t watching or working on it. In the same way, the kingdom of God is incomprehensible to us: we do the work we’ve been given to do, but we don’t see it taking shape or coming into being. God is working behind the scenes.
1- GOD WORKS IN UNEXPECTED WAYS
2- OUR EFFORTS CANNOT BE JUDGED BY THEIR IMMEDIATE AND VISIBLE RESULTS
3- TRUE LIFE COMES THROUGH DEATH
4- WE MUST GRASP THE IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE THINGS, ONE DAY AT A TIME
Where we expect big, booming, and impressive, God gives us humble and vulnerable. What are the little things we should pay attention to?
