Mark 1. Day 1 - The New Testament in a Year - NEW

Episode Notes: 

Episode Highlights: 

John the Baptist’s Mission.  Jesus’s Baptism and Early Ministry.  Jesus’s Authority and Compassion. 

In Mark chapter 1 we watch John the Baptist stir the hearts of the people, preparing them for the arrival of someone far greater. We see Jesus step onto the scene, confirm His identity through baptism, and overcome temptation. Then we follow Him as He calls ordinary fishermen and begins an extraordinary ministry of healing and teaching.

We explore three important “look-fors”: John the Baptist’s mission, Jesus’s baptism and early ministry, and Jesus’s authority and compassion. From these, we draw encouraging takeaways that challenge us to serve, pray, and show compassion. We discover how prayer is the source of spiritual strength, how God calls the willing rather than the perfect, and how Christlike compassion brings our faith to life. This chapter reminds us that God is faithful, loving, and powerful, and it motivates us to take practical steps to follow Jesus with our whole hearts.
