Romans 12:1
Intro.
In the previous chapters Paul has been teaching very important
Theological truths. He has spared no expense of ink in detailing each
argument, and laying to rest many side arguments that may come to mind.
He now shifts gears completely, and dives into a very practical section
of the book. He is careful to transition, based on the truth of the
Theological arguments he has presented.

Certainty about Christ
#
Mark 8:27-38
Introduction
Last week we looked at two miracles, the miracle where the blind man was made to see, however he saw men walking as trees. We equated that to the fact that now, we don’t have perfect understanding. The second miracle was the second touch, and he was made to see clearly! Much like in heaven we will see clearly.

Jesus Crucified
#
Mark 15:16-20
Introduction
Jesus was in deep spiritual battle in the garden in prayer, while the disciples slept. It was late in the night. We covered the betrayal of Judas, as well as Peter’s curiosity and concern following Jesus to the mock trial the Jewish religious leaders held for Jesus late into the night, probably early into the morning. - In addition to the exhaustion from the spiritual battle Jesus had been in the garden, he had not slept all night, and went before Pilate first thing in the morning, only to be sentenced to death. There would be no sleep from this point on. We will pickup where we left off, Jesus has been turned over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.
