Mark 1:1-8 // The Right Story (Preached on December 29, 2024)

In beginning a series on the Gospel of Mark, we discover that Mark does not begin his account with the birth of Jesus, but with the preaching of John the Baptist. John's message of repentance in the wilderness communicated to the Israelites who heard him that God was doing something new. Indeed, Mark focuses our attention in his Gospel on what it means that Jesus the Messiah is the Son of God.
