Mark 1:1-15 // The Beginning of The Gospel // Pastor Jeremy Olfert

February 15, 2026

Read Mark 1:1-15
Consider these questions when reflecting on this message:

1. What was it that initially drew you to Christianity/Jesus?

2. What were a few of the things you learned this week that makes Mark unique?

3. Why does Mark start with the word “beginning”?

4. Mark tells us 4 things about the gospel:

   It’s about Jesus | It’s a Fulfillment of Scripture | It’s Trinitarian | The Kingdom of God is at Hand. 

   Which one stands out to you the most?

5. Mark has presented the gospel in which we must embrace as repentance, faith/belief, baptism, and Holy Spirit.  Where are you on this continuum? What’s next?
