Olive oil may be a kitchen essential today, but in Bible times, it was a complex process. Farmers collected the olives, dumped them into hollowed-out rock, and repeatedly crushed them with a large milling stone. This area was called the pressing place. In this program, Chip teaches through the rest of Mark chapter 14, where we find Jesus in an emotionally and spiritually pressing place. Join us to better appreciate the immense burden Christ carried before the Cross and the ultimate sacrifice He made.
Chip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians. As a pastor, author, and teacher for more than three decades, Chip has helped believers around the world move from spiritual spectators to healthy, authentic disciples of Jesus by living out God’s truth in their lives and relationships in transformational ways.
Living on the Edge exists to help Christians live like Christians. Established in 1995 as the radio ministry of pastor and author Chip Ingram, God has since grown it into a global discipleship ministry. Living on the Edge provides Biblical teaching and discipleship resources that challenge and equip spiritually hungry Christians all over the world to become mature disciples of Jesus.

1:28.6 | specific times that you're going to die. You've told them that you're going to rise and so far they don't |
