The Author, Audience and Purpose of Mark. The Beginning of the Gospel.

Everyone who has been born of God believes, loves, obeys joyfully and overcomes the world.

What, who, how and why do we guard(s) the gospel?

Trust in God, be rich in good works and invest in the life to come!

Flee from sin, pursue the Savior, fight the good fight, get a grip on life and stay faithful to the end!

Don't be conned, be content and beware of cravings!

Jesus, the Everlasting Father, calls us to come to Him

God protects and preserves His people, is present with His people and is coming for His people

Jesus counsels from perfect wisdom, personal experience and all who seek him

The Lord instructs us not to covet, but rather look to him for our fulfillment in life.
