Overview
The Gospel of Mark invites a simple but searching question: who is Jesus? Mark shows him as the Son of God and true King, bringing the kingdom of God near in both word and power.
To encounter Jesus is to be confronted by his authority, drawn by his compassion, and invited into a way of life that reshapes everything. As he works in people, he also works through them—sending us into places of need and empowering us by His Spirit. In this, Jesus not just followed. He is worshiped.

The Authority of Jesus
Mark 1:16-39
Jesus steps onto the scene with an authority people can’t ignore, seen in how He teaches, acts, and lives. And while we tend to trust ourselves above all else, His authority reaches into our future, what we believe is true, and the voices we listen to.
