About the event
The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the gospels and most likely the first written. It is action packed and direct. It is intriguing, challenging, and sometimes confusing. The central question is “Who do you say Jesus is?” and how then will you live in response? “Gospel” means good news. And so, we ask throughout the gospel, “What is the good news in this story?” Jesus is portrayed as both human and divine, powerful and weak, approachable yet mysterious. And the disciples are depicted as deeply human, devoted to Jesus, and often clueless. Despite their faults, Jesus never gives up on them. And keeps nudging them toward faithfulness. This has always been my favorite gospel; I look forward to exploring it with you all! ~ Pastor Patti Gospel of Mark Reading Plan
