Join us for an 8 week study of the Gospel of Mark. Adults and teenagers are welcome to join the conversation. Location is being worked out. Reach out with any questions.

This week we will read Mark 1:1-13, the introduction. As you read, consider these questions:

• How does the opening line (1:1) function in the introduction/ in the whole book?

• What does “gospel” mean?

• What role is the Old Testament playing in this passage?

• What connection can you make between the events described here?

• What expectations does this introduction create for the reader?
