Mark 1:21-28 “Authority: Part One”

Mark 1:16-20 “Kingdom Recruits”
What does it look to follow Jesus? At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called four lowly fishermen to follow him and be his disciples. He called them to leave their lives, jobs, and family behind and follow him and as they follow him he calls them to fish for men by casting the net of the gospel. For us, following Jesus looks like living for him where he has called us. We are called to take part in the building of his kingdom and that begins with how we live for him where he has called us, whether as a husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, employee, or employer. Wherever he has called us, we must live to bring him glory and fish for men by proclaiming the gospel.
Mark 1:14-15 “Mission Statement”
We see the foundation of his ministry of the kingdom and we see him invite sinful men into it. This is humbling. And it gives us clarity on our message.
