In about 65 A.D., 35 years after the resurrection of Jesus, Nero murdered the Apostles, Peter and Paul in Rome. He continues using Roman Christians as torches to light up his garden parties. At this time the churches in Rome received encouragement in the form of arguably the most important book ever written, the Good News according to Mark.
Mark, the young man discipled by Barnabas, Paul, and Peter. Mark, knowing the apostolic eye witnesses were dying wrote, his Gospel as a summary of the preaching of his Father in the Faith, the apostle Peter. Mark was on fire with telling the stories that witness to Jesus, Lord and Messiah. The second half of his book witnesses to Jesus’ intention to die on a Cross and his call to Disciples to carry His Cross. Come join us as we go deep into one of the treasures of this world, Mark’s story of Jesus.
