FOLLOWING JESUS
A 30-Day Journey Through The Gospel of Mark
ZOOM OUT.
SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
Before you read Chapter 1 of Following Jesus: A 30-Day Journey Through The Gospel of Mark, take a few minutes to zoom out. Mark’s Gospel isn’t just random stories. It’s one unfolding announcement:
Jesus is King.
And His Kingdom is here.
Here are a few short videos from BibleProject that will help you understand:
Who Mark is writing about
What “gospel” actually means
Why this story still matters
GOSPEL OF MARK
One of the earliest official accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Mark addresses the basic questions of whether Jesus was the true Messiah for whom Israel had been waiting. And if so, what kind of Messianic king was he if he suffered and died?

THE GOSPEL
The New Testament contains four ancient biographies of Jesus of Nazareth, and altogether they are called “the Gospel.” Each one tells the story as an announcement of good news that the crucified and risen Jesus is the true ruler of the nations. In this video, we explore why these accounts were written and how you can read them with greater insight.

HOW JESUS BECAME THE KING OF THE WORLD
In this video, we trace the origins of the word “gospel” and how it ties the story of the Old Testament together with the story of Jesus and his announcement of God’s kingdom.
Jesus brought God’s rule and reign to the world in a very upside-down way, which is the best news you could ask for.

THIS IS THE HOPE FOR ENDING THE EVIL THAT AFFECTS YOUR LIFE
In this video on the Messiah, we explore the mysterious promise on page three of the Bible, that a promised deliverer would one day come to confront evil and rescue humanity. We trace this theme through the family of Abraham, the messianic lineage of David, and ultimately to Jesus who defeated evil by letting it defeat him.
