Simply put, the Gospel of Mark is about following Jesus. Whether someone is seeking to understand who Jesus is or wanting to grow as a follower of Christ, the Gospel of Mark tackles these issues head-on. Over the next few months, we will work through Mark to seek to answer these two questions: 1) Who is Jesus? and 2) What does it mean to follow Jesus? On Easter Sunday, Pastor Michael, walked through how Jesus tells us about Easter before it happens in Mark 8:31-38. Jesus not only tells us about Easter before it happened, He tells us what it all means by inviting us to follow Him. Whether you've been in church your whole life or are just considering Christianity for the first time, Mark 8:31-38 is the quintessential invitation to all people: you have to die to yourself to find yourself, you have to follow Christ to find life.
