This week we look at a story about a man who experiences the wonderful power of Jesus. The man then requests to come with Jesus, but Jesus tells him to stay where he is. Why would Jesus say this?

What is a disciple? 

This week we unpack what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We look at Mark 1, where Jesus calls his first disciples. The story of Jesus' invitation to those 4 people can give us insight into what it means to a disciple here and now.

What is the "Good News?" What does it mean for us today?

This week we start our journey through Mark. We focus solely on the first verse as the thesis statement for this account of the life of Jesus. What is the purpose of the book of Mark. Who wrote it? What are the sources? Why this book?

To unpack the good news we go back to the beginning.
