A Lenten Journey through Mark 1:1-3:19

Jesus calls unlikely people and builds an unexpected kingdom. In Mark 1:17, He invites fishermen to leave everything behind, not just to follow Him, but to be transformed into fishers of men. Then, in Mark 2:17, He declares that His mission is not to call the righteous, but sinners—the broken, the outcasts, the ones who know their need. Through Terry, we explore how Jesus' call disrupts our plans, reshapes our identity, and invites us into a mission that is bigger than ourselves—a mission of grace, belonging, and radical transformation. These devotionals are part of our Lenten Journey through the Gospel of Mark.

Series Information

This season, we’re taking two journeys through Lent to the resurrection. In keeping with our congregational reading through the Gospel of Mark, Terry will share devotionals from the week’s readings on Thursdays. Afterward, those gathered will discuss the implications of what we’ve read and what was shared. Over the Sundays preceding Easter, our journey will be one of Turning Towards the Cross, where we follow in Jesus’ footsteps toward that ‘first day of the week’ which changed everything.
