The purpose of the Gospel of Mark is to show that the Lord Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God who was sent to suffer and to serve in order to rescue and restore mankind. In this series we will seek to discover that for ourselves as we journey through the book together. Jesus' disciples often failed to realize who exactly Jesus was. We can certainly identify with this and so our hope for this series is that we will come to a better understanding of who Jesus is and the life to which he calls his disciples.
