About This Message
Pastor Addison surveys the Gospel of Mark, arguing that it presents Jesus to a Roman audience as the powerful yet humble "serving Son of God," proven through his authority over teaching, demons, illness, sin, and nature. He traces the book's turning point at Peter's confession in chapter 8 and shows how Jesus's mocking and crucifixion mirror, in reverse, a Roman military triumph.
Key Takeaways
- Mark repeatedly shows Jesus's authority to prove he is God's Son
