Who then is this?

Bible Text: Mark 4:35-6:6 |

Series:

Jesus amazingly commands a storm to cease, casts out demons, and even raises someone from the dead. His disciples ask, "Who then is this?" This is the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth, the promised Messiah, the prince of peace, the Son of God himself. Yet Jesus is greeted by both acceptance and rejection. What about you? As this text demonstrates: Jesus, the Son of God, demonstrates the power of God for those who believe.



Mark

The gospel of Mark tells us of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Under the inspiration of the Spirit, Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the suffering Servant sent to save his people. Mark stresses the authority of Jesus, his great sacrifice, and what it means to be his disciple. This book was given to make and encourage disciples of Jesus, and this sermon series seeks to do the same by proclaiming Mark's message for today's generation.
