Mark - A King's Ransom The Ironic Messiah 15 March 2026 10am

In this sermon, Shane Dirks explores Mark 14 and the events surrounding the Last Supper, highlighting the “ironic” nature of Jesus’ mission. Through moments such as the prepared Passover, the announcement of betrayal during a fellowship meal, and Jesus redefining the covenant in terms of his own body and blood, the message reveals a Messiah who overturns expectations. Shane emphasises that Jesus is fully prepared, willingly heading toward the cross, and is the true and only hope for salvation. The sermon calls listeners to recognise Christ’s authority, trust in his finished work, and respond to his call to watch, believe, and proclaim the good news. Questions to Think About What do the “ironies” in this passage reveal about the true nature of Jesus’ mission? How does Jesus redefining the Passover challenge your understanding of salvation? In what ways might you be relying on something other than Jesus as your hope? How does knowing that Jesus is both willing and prepared to save change your response to him? What does it look like for you to “keep watch” and live in light of the empty tomb? Three Things to Take Away Jesus is fully prepared and in control as he moves toward the cross. Jesus willingly gives his life, showing God’s deep love and grace. Jesus alone is our true hope, calling us to trust him and share the gospel with others.
