A New Kingdom – The Gospel of Mark

At First Alliance Church, we’re all about one thing—keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. That’s why we’re diving deep into the action-packed Gospel of Mark: the shortest Gospel, but one that powerfully reveals who Jesus really is—not just our Savior, but our King.

In this opening message, we explore:
– Why the church should read the Gospels more than anything else
– How Jesus invites us not just to forgiveness, but to a new way of living
– The powerful origin story of the Gospel of Mark (aka “Peter’s Gospel”)
– Why calling Jesus “Christ” changes everything
– How John the Baptist prepared the way—not for a religion, but a Kingdom

You’ll be challenged to strip off what’s holding you back and run with endurance the race that God has marked out for you—by fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith.
