Mark 10:1-16
Introduction
I have titled the message God’s Family Plan, not because God is specifically outlining the idea for a family, but the entirety of this passage, is so necessary for Family matters, that I have dubbed it, God’s Family Plan. We literally have three separate instances that are back to back that I have stitched together for one message to help families.

Mark 10:17-27
Introduction
The greatest problem in America, is her wealth. God has blessed our nation, and we thank our veterans for their service, that have bought our freedom! God has blessed our nation, because they have were founded on Bible Principles! Because they were founded on Bible principles, they have backed Israel! God has blessed our country because of those two things!

Mark 10:28-31 - read Mark 10:28-45
Introduction
We are going to cover down through verse 45, but let’s look at this passage. This passage takes place right after the young rich man had asked what he could do to inherit eternal life. We looked at that last week, and recognized the man did not see himself as a sinner in need of salvation, but was simply seeking to add to his riches, eternal life. Right after that whole discussion, Peter; never one to let a quite moment pass without interjecting something, says, “Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.”

Triumphal Entry
Mark 11:1-6
Introduction
We are a couple of months early for Palm Sunday, but the Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday. It is often referred to as the triumphal entry. It was one of the only times that Jesus allowed public prominent praise of himself. Jesus certainly is worthy of worship, but he often did not allow it, and maintained a low profile as best as he could. Jesus did not come to be lifted up as King, but came as a sacrifice.

Mark 11:15-18
Mark 11:12-33
Introduction
We have been going through the book of Mark on Sunday mornings, and we have gotten behind a little. So, I will continue that series tonight. We are picking up toward the end of Jesus ministry. His disciples have spent a great deal of time ministering with him. Last time, we looked at the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We are going to look at three lessons given by the Lord.

Mark 12:1-12
Introduction
We have a parable from the Lord. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. It is something the people of the day would relate to and understand. Many of the parables, are not always things we relate to in life, but we certainly can understand them easily. This parable is no different. This parable was specifically geared towards the pharisees, and was condemning them. It was very obvious to them as well.

Mark 12:13
Introduction
We have a lengthy portion before us, and I will not read it all in the beginning. Lord willing we will get down to verse 40 this morning. We have a series of questions which are asked, but not out of sincerity, but rather out of malice, and with the idea of entrapping, and ensnaring our Lord Jesus Christ. Questions can be a very interesting study in the Bible! Questions are sometimes asked of us to cause us to reflect. Sometimes questions are asked out of sincere desire to know something. Sometimes questions are used in sarcastic manner to make someone feel dumb. Sometimes questions are “trick” questions, that are used to trap someone with their words. That is exactly what is going on here. They were trying to trick, and entrap Jesus.

Mark 13:1-6
Introduction
As Jesus is coming out of the temple, one of the disciples comments on the beautiful building that the temple is. Jesus then prophetically told them of the overthrow of the temple. Once they arrived on the Mount of Olives. The questions came, “When shall these things be?” “What shall be the signs when all these things shall be fulfilled?” The Olivet Discourse is recorded with more detail in Matthew 24-25. It also appears in Luke 21:5-36.

Mark 14:1-9
Introduction
Last week we looked at the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had just gone through the end times with the disciples on the mount of Olives. We literally could spend weeks on that chapter, but let’s move on through the Gospel of Mark as we continue. We are drawing to the close of the Gospel of Mark. Mark 14 is the longest chapter, and is the beginning of the end, Jesus death, burial and resurrection.

Mark 14:12-17
Introduction
We left off last time with Judas already going to the chief priests and conspiring to betray Jesus. In his mind he had already decided this was the path to take. There was still time to turn around, he had not actually done it, only committed to doing it. We find the disciples after that in one of the most close knit, intimate times, when the disciples are with Jesus for one of the last times. Every one of them is gathered.
