All of us have a rhythm we live in - daily, weekly, monthly, even yearly. In this text we drop in on a day in the life of Jesus where we see a rhythm that encapsulates His entire ministry: communion with His Father, a clarity of His mission, and a compassion for the outcast.

We live in a time where we are greatly fascinated with power and authority, especially political power and authority. But in contrast, and unlike our leaders today who often bring empty promises and overused platitudes, Jesus ushers in His kingdom with displays of power and authority in His teaching, over the demonic, and over sickness and suffering.

After John the Baptist's arrest, Jesus' earthly ministry begins. And it begins in Galilee with a threefold call to repent, believe and follow Him. 

In the 1990s a movement took the world by storm coming by way of the acronym WWJD. It’s a good question, what would Jesus do? In this passage, however, we look at two questions more important: who is Jesus and what did he do?

We begin a series on the Gospel of Mark today with one of the most unusual men in the Bible - John the Baptist. He ushers in the arrival of Jesus and in our text we will stand in awe of God's sovereignty, John's humility, and Jesus' supremacy.  

Mark wastes no time getting to the heart of his Gospel: Who is Jesus? From its opening lines, Mark presents Jesus not merely as a teacher or miracle worker, but as the promised King in whom God himself has drawn near. And as we encounter his astonishing authority, gracious mercy, and call to discipleship, Mark invites us not only to discover who Jesus is, but to consider what it means to follow him.
