We start Season 12 by curating a new Bible “shelf” and launching the Gospel According to Peter, beginning with Mark’s fast-moving account shaped by Peter’s stories. We read Mark 1 out loud and slow down to reflect on a God who delights in relationship before we prove anything.
• how we organize Bible reading by genre rather than book order
• why Mark fits the Gospel According to Peter theme
• Mark’s pace and focus on what Jesus does
• John the Baptist, repentance, and preparing the way
• Jesus’ baptism, wilderness testing, and kingdom message
• the call of the first disciples and immediate obedience
• Jesus’ authority in teaching and over unclean spirits
• healing, prayer in solitude, and staying on mission
• the leper’s request, Jesus’ touch, and the spread of the news
• God’s delight coming before ministry performance and what that means for our identity
