Why do you come to Jesus? Do you come looking for rest, for answers, for healing, for help? Are you seeking Him with faith, or with conditions? In this week’s message, we see people come to Jesus from all directions — His disciples returning from ministry, the crowds running to find Him, and the religious leaders always lingering nearby. Each group came with different motives, expectations, and needs. Whether we feel like apostles, skeptics, or part of the crowd, Jesus meets each of us with compassion and purpose.

From Series: "The Good News: the Gospel of Mark"

As we look at the first 8 chapters of The Gospel of Mark, we will see Jesus moving with urgency — healing the sick, casting out demons, and teaching with unparalleled authority. And everywhere He goes, He announces one central message: “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” But Jesus didn’t just proclaim this message — He demonstrated it as well. Everywhere Jesus went, He showed people who He is, and how that is good news for all of humanity. In The Gospel of Mark: The Good News, we will explore the revolutionary way Jesus reveals Himself and calls us to respond to the good news of His Kingdom. The good news goes so far beyond salvation – it's an invitation to transform our lives, day in and day out.
