We’ve seen it happen in movies and books over and over again. When all seems lost, a hero arrives, hope is rekindled, victory becomes possible, and everything changes for those who belong to the hero. This is a part of the reason why these movies or books are so interesting. We wonder, ‘If only we lived in a world as exciting as that.’

We do. But ours is real and consequential.

This sermon is Part 1 in a teaching series through the Gospel of Mark, often considered the earliest full account of Jesus’ life. When all seems lost, a hero arrives, hope is rekindled, victory becomes possible, and everything changes for those who belong to the hero. That hero is King Jesus.

Unfortunately, however, we have been trained (or seduced) to think small, whether that be about Jesus, salvation, evil, faith, the purpose of life, or the Kingdom of God. Our exploration of the Gospel of Mark will be an invitation to think bigger and see more.
