When Jesus starts his public ministry, he is bursting with Good News. He comes preaching in Galilee that ‘The time promised by God has come at last! The Kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the good news!’

The good news of the Kingdom of God is that of all the possible alternatives, JESUS is the one who is ultimately in charge of the universe. Not death, or sickness, or political leaders, or even ourselves. Jesus is the boss. This is good news because not only is Jesus compassionate and merciful, he actually has the power to make a difference.

This sermon based on Mark 1:14-20 was preached at Pakenham Lakeside Church on Sunday 21st January 2018.

Enjoy!
