Mark's Gospel - "Your Kingdom Come"
Our spring 2019 series is from Mark's Gospel entitled, "Your Kingdom Come." We see Jesus' first recorded words in Mark's Gospel, "‘The time has come,’ he said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!’" (1:15).
In Jesus, God's Kingdom has broken into our world in a special way, 'The time' that Jesus refers to is a 'kairos' moment, a significant time in the purposes of God, as opposed to our normal 'chronos' chronological time.
So, we will be exploring what it means for God's Kingdom to come close to us through the person of Jesus, and how we can respond to him as God's chosen King. And in Mark's Gospel there is a real emphasis on the call to discipleship, which we will be seeking to understand and grow in together.
