Description

This sermon, _“Jesus Arrives,”_ preached on January 5, 2025, at Christ Community’s Shawnee campus (during a weekend snowstorm!), launches the new series _“Who Do You Say That I Am?”_ on the Gospel of Mark. Preaching from Mark 1:1–13, it traces the beginning of Jesus’ ministry—the fulfillment of God’s promises, the preparation by John the Baptist, and Jesus’ baptism and testing in the wilderness.

I unpack:

  • The explosive announcement of the Good News.
  • John the Baptist’s role in preparing hearts for Jesus.
  • The significance of Jesus’ baptism and wilderness testing.
  • How Jesus’ arrival reshapes our understanding of God’s kingdom.


📖 Key Passage: Mark 1:1–13
🎧 Listen now: What does it mean to welcome Jesus’ arrival today?
