Entombed but Effectual | Mark 15:39-47
https://thegfc.org/…/Mark%20Audio%2…/1424Mark15.39-47.mp3 Sometimes, we think of the cross and the resurrection as being the significant aspects of the crucifixion narrative.

This past Sunday, we learned about Annas and Caiaphas and their hostility towards Christ. We were reminded that in His vast wisdom, God used the murder of His beloved Son to bring about the redemption of mankind. As only He can do, He used…
Not Guilty as Charged! Mark 15:1-15
https://thegfc.org/…/Mark%20Audio%2…/1419Mark15.01-15.mp3 This past Sunday at Grace Fellowship, we were reminded that although Jesus was perfectly righteous in His life on earth, He was willingly condemned as a criminal.

But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings…” This past Sunday at GFC, Pastor Holladay preached on Mark 14:53-65 as we considered what we can learn from the unjust, mockery of a trial that Jesus received before His crucifixion. At the end of our study, we were left…

The Garden of Gethsemane—A Theological Look
https://thegfc.org/…/Mark%20Audio%2…/1414Mark14.32-42.mp3 As we celebrate Christ’s birth this season, sometimes it’s easy to forget the reason He entered into the world: to die for our sins. This past Sunday, we were reminded by Pastor Holladay that Jesus’ death was in our place (vicarious), that He willingly gave Himself to suffer in our place (voluntary) and that He was successful in providing redemption through His sacrifice (victorious).
