INTRODUCTION:

            In just a few days 2025 will pass away and 2026 will begin.  I could not leave 2025 and enter into 2026 without speaking to you about my favorite subject, the event that I anticipate more than anything else in the world, the event Paul calls the blessed hope in his letter to Titus.

MARK'S ABRUPT ENDING (Mark 16:9-20)

INTRODUCTION:

            This morning’s message will be a little different from how I usually preach.  The reason is due to the final verses of Mark’s Gospel, which we must decide why these verses are here, are they the inspired word of God, are they Mark’s words and if they are not why are they tacked onto the end of his Gospel.  We will explore all of this this morning and also look at the reliability of our copies of the Bible.  Before we do anything else, let’s pray and seek the Spirit’s wisdom as we tackle some difficult questions today.
