Mark 1 (Part 1) :1-20 - John Appeared, Baptizing in the Wilderness

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Mark 1:1–20, Pastor Paul introduces the fast-moving Gospel of Mark as John the Baptist prepares the way through a call to repentance and Jesus begins His public ministry. You’ll discover why repentance prepares the heart to hear God, what Jesus’ baptism reveals about His identification with sinners, and how His victory over temptation becomes our source of victory. When Jesus calls His first disciples, we’re reminded that following Him means surrendering everything we are for His eternal purposes.
