Mark 8: Who Do You Say He Is? | Mark 8 brings us to the heart of the gospel and the core of Christianity. The disciples have been tagging along with Jesus for some time now, but chapter 8 is decision time. Time to answer: Who is Jesus? And what does it mean to follow him?

Journey 1 | Start. Here in our first journey, we'll follow Jesus' footsteps through Mark's gospel, then learn what it means to follow Jesus today in the book of Colossians. (24 Days)
