We slow down with Mark as the story zooms into Jesus’ final week, watching his words and actions turn sharper as he nears the cross. We read Mark 11–12 and wrestle with what real faith looks like when Jesus confronts empty religion, answers traps, and points to love as the center of God’s will.
• Mark’s pace shift from three years to one week
• The triumphal entry and what the crowd expects
• The fig tree as a warning about fruitless faith
• The temple cleansing and the call to be a house of prayer
• Faith in God linked with prayer and forgiveness
• Religious leaders challenging Jesus’ authority
• The parable of the tenants and the rejected cornerstone
• “Give to Caesar” and loyalty to God
• Jesus correcting errors about the resurrection
• The greatest commandment as love for God and neighbor
• The widow’s offering as a picture of true devotion
