Current Series: Who Is Jesus?
The Gospel of Mark announces the good news that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the long-awaited King. Through his teaching, miracles, and authority over sin, sickness, demons, and death, Jesus reveals that God’s kingdom has come near. Yet he is not the king people expect: he came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Mark shows that Jesus’ glory is revealed most clearly through his suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection. Those who recognize him as the Christ are therefore called not merely to admire him, but to repent, believe the gospel, deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. Because the crucified King has risen, his people can follow him with faith and hope as they proclaim the good news to all nations.

Sermon Text - Mark 1:1-13

Response to the Word

Apostle's Creed
We believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
