When God Breaks In | Mark 1:1-13 | Derek Harm

In the opening sermon of the series Following Jesus: The Servant-King on the Move, we launch into Mark’s fast-moving Gospel, showing how God breaks into history suddenly and decisively through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Rather than waiting for ideal conditions, God interrupts routines with John’s call to repentance, Jesus’ humble identification in baptism, the Father’s affirming voice, and the Spirit’s leading into wilderness testing—revealing Jesus as the trustworthy Lord worthy of our full allegiance. The message challenges listeners to trust who Jesus is before obeying what He says, right where they are, resting in His love and victory rather than striving to earn it.
