My Prayer for You

As you use these resources, my prayer is that they will help you and your congregation discover the revolutionary Christ that Mark presents-not the domesticated Jesus of popular culture, but the radical Messiah who demands everything and offers everything in return. May these messages challenge comfortable Christianity while providing biblical foundation for the kind of radical discipleship that takes the cross seriously.

Remember, you're not just explaining historical events-you're introducing people to the living Christ who continues to call disciples, perform miracles, and transform lives today. You're showing that authentic Christianity requires engaging with the same Jesus who amazed crowds, confounded enemies, and ultimately conquered death itself.

The Gospel of Mark reveals what becomes possible when ordinary people encounter the extraordinary Christ and surrender completely to His call to discipleship. The same Jesus who transformed fishermen into apostles, tax collectors into evangelists, and cowards into martyrs continues working today, waiting for contemporary believers who will embrace the same radical commitment that characterized His first followers.

The transforming power of Mark's Gospel has been changing lives and building disciples for two thousand years. May it transform yours as you study these pivotal moments, and may it transform your congregation's as you preach them with boldness, clarity, and expectation for divine encounter.
