Mark: Tidings of the Kingdom – An Online Course
Course Begins Oct. 14
“Jesus went to Galilee and preached the Good News from God. “The right time has come,” he said, “and the Kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins and believe the Good News!” —Mark 1:14-15 (Good News Translation)
The oldest and shortest of the New Testament gospels, Mark is in some ways the most mysterious. Jesus announces the Reign of God but simultaneously hide his identity. The disciples are confused, while unexpected or undesirable characters reveal critical knowledge of Jesus. God’s Kingdom is a power for healing, liberation from evil, and resurrection, but it comes through suffering and the cross. Written for a people under oppression, join us to discover the golden thread of hope Mark offers us in learning to be with Jesus.
