“Immediately They left their nets and followed him”.

“The Gospel of Mark is the “white water trip of the New Testament” – Dan Hutchinson

Key verse – For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45

Mark 1:8 – I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
2. The Gospel Of Great Preparation.
The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way” 3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’

“He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,” – Ephesians 1:9-12

Of church or chapel bell
I want to run a rescue shop
Within a yard of hell-C.T. Studd
