In Mark 11, Jesus boldly reveals His authority over Jerusalem, the temple, and all of God’s promises. Discover why empty religion can never save, how Christ fulfills the Old Testament, and why the only hope for every person is to repent, believe, and follow Him.

As Jesus makes His final journey to Jerusalem, He encounters Bartimaeus – a blind beggar who sees more clearly than the crowds around him. His response to Jesus becomes a model of true discipleship, showing us what it means to hear, believe, and follow Christ.

Disciples of Jesus look for opportunities–whether in the church, home or work–to set aside their own needs, desires and preferences and place a higher value on the needs of others. Do you use your power to subjugate or serve? What would your marriage, family and workplace look like if you used your power and authority for the highest and best of others, rather than yourself.
