Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches about Mark 10:1-12 "Seeking Selective Scriptures" on 3/29/2026 for our Palm Sunday service.
Mark 10:11-12
Teaching About Divorce
11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 "And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
The Pharisees seeking to test Jesus on the claims of scripture concerning divorce, reveal the same principle that is found in Mark 11: 1- 19 The passage of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem that we call "Palm Sunday" This is the principle of Seeking Selective Scriptures. Picking and choosing the scriptures we desire even if we have to parse it up into sections that are not in context. Join us as we see how this same principle is seen in the events and conversations of these two passages. The pharisees in Mark 10 resist the real truth of the scriptures intellectually. The People in Mark 11 resist the real truth of the scriptures emotionally.
The reality is that they are both resisting the real truth of the Scriptures declared in context for a selective truth found in scriptures that they can manipulate these portions of scripture into allowing them to act on their own desires and still consider themselves righteous.
