No matter what you think of Jesus, we all must admit that the historical Jesus of Nazareth transformed the world. People all over the world continue to trust and follow Jesus and His teachings.

So what does it mean to follow Jesus? What does it look like? Why does it matter? We invite you to talk through those questions with another follower of Jesus in our church or somewhere else. But here's a tip: Look for answers while reading a first century, peer-reviewed record of eye-witness followers of Jesus. The shortest one is Mark's Gospel, written between 40 AD and 69 AD. It's in the Bible.

We want to come along side you as you spend six days in Mark's Gospel of Jesus. We'll explain how further below. But first, here is a short video that summarizes the gospel message visually.

It's only two and half minutes long:

A video like that can help get to the point quickly. But, many find reading a time-tested and universally received account of Jesus's life and ministry to be better. It's more authentic. It gives you substance to evaluate and discuss. It will also help you see how Jesus changed lives then and now.

Think about it...

See why so many people have been not only amazed by but also transformed by Jesus. Use this short series to spend six days in the gospel of Jesus as recorded by one of His followers, John Mark. Go through it on your own, or better yet, meet up six times with one or more followers of Jesus to ask them questions as you go through the series.

The format is simple. The first day introduces the series and the gospel theme throughout the Bible. It does this with a short sermon clip, introductory remarks, and Bible verses with questions to discuss. Each day after that includes a reading of Mark's Gospel with a sermon clip, a Bible theme to look for, and questions to discuss when you meet up. The six sermon clips are from one sermon through all of Mark's Gospel of Jesus.

You can go through this in six consecutive days or spread it out into something like six weeks. You can listen and read through the content before meeting up or go through it all together.

Meet in person. Do a group chat. Schedule phone or video calls. Do a mixture of all those. Do it as a group, in a class, or with one other person. However you go through this, we hope you will seriously consider this question: "What good is the gospel doing in you?
