A New Way of Living
Key Point: Jesus calls us to live in His new Kingdom as forgiven, faith-filled people
Who was Mark?
Jesus’ 1st sermon Mark 1:15b = “Repent and believe!”
Signs of the new Kingdom: action/teaching/challenge
-Ch 1 Launching a Kingdom ministry (with ordinary people)
-Ch 2:1-12 You are newly forgiven (now live like it!)
-Ch. 3:31-34 The new family (Jesus’ mother & siblings)
-Ch. 4:1-20 The new order (parable of sower/seed/soil)
-Ch. 5:25-34 The new healing (woman with hemorrhage)
-Ch. 6:30-42 The new food (feeding 5000+)
-Ch. 7:1-23 The new definition of right relationships
E.g. Getting married = only beginning – now live married!
In what ways are playing “married” with Jesus?
Empty religion = pretend; inflict rules of hollow tradition
In what ways are we creating hollow religious rules?
Repent and believe! = live as forgiven, faith-filled people
Final Story = “Well done…!”
