    What is something you miss about meeting together?
    What are your symptoms?
    Background of the book of Mark
    Written by John Mark
    Fast-paced, hard-hitting
    Probably first Gospel written
    Written at the end of a 450 year period of silence in the
    Jesus is introduced
    Mark 1:1-5
    Mark opens his story of Jesus with a message of hope
    This is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. It began just as the prophet Isaiah had written:
    “Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
    and he will prepare your way.
    He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
    ‘Prepare the way for the LORD’s coming!
    Clear the road for him!’”
    This messenger was John the Baptist. He was in the wilderness and preached that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven.
    Jesus begins his ministry
    Calls Simon (Peter), Andrew, James and John
    Mark 1: 17
    Jesus called out to them, “Come Follow me and, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
    With this phrase, Jesus began to change the way that we relate to God
    Jesus made it about a relationship
    Jesus begins to show his authority
    Cast out evil spirits, healed many people
    Jesus gains popularity (goes viral)
    In the matter of just a couple of days…
    Mark 1:16-20 – Jesus calls first 4 disciples
    Mark 1:22 – The people were amazed at his teaching on the Sabbath
    Mark 1:27-28
    Amazement gripped the audience, and they began to discuss what had happened. “What sort of new teaching is this?” they asked excitedly. “It has such authority! Even evil spirits obey his orders!” The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee
    Mark 1:37 – Everyone is looking for you
    Side bar: Jesus was alone praying
    Mark 1:45 – Crowds so large he couldn’t enter a town publicly anymore
    Chapter 2 – House so full they lowered man down, eating dinner with a large group of “scum”
    The message of Jesus was contagious
    Peace, hope, love, healing
    Change your normal
    What if instead of waiting for normal church, we accept the new normal of being the Church
    What are your symptoms
    Are you an asymptomatic Christian?
