The Testimony of the Messiah
May 24, 2020 Preacher: Ace Davis Series: The Gospel According to Mark
Scripture: Mark 1:1–8
Date: May 24, 2020
Text: Mark 1:1-8
Title: The Testimony of the Messiah
- The Fulfilled Prophecy of Scripture. (Malachi 3:1; Isaiah 40:3)
- The Faithful Preaching about Sin (2 Kings 1:8)
- The Future Promise of the Spirit (Eph 1:13-14)
- Mark’s gospel is a fast-paced book. The word “immediately” appears 11 times in the 1st Chapter.
- Focuses on what Jesus did vs what Jesus said. Focuses on the Works (vs Words) of Jesus.
- Written to a gentile (non-Jewish) audience, therefore very few Old Testament references, and doesn’t assume knowledge of the Old Testament.
-
Key Application points today:
- We can trust in God’s Word.
- We need to live a life of repentance.
- We need to prepare to be used by God.
