As we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark, we encounter Jesus’ challenging words about the true cost of following him. In this passage, Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him, a Messiah whose power is revealed not through domination, but through sacrifice. Together, we will explore what it means to lose our lives for his sake and discover the life that can only be found in him.

CloseThis message continues our journey through the Gospel of Mark with the story of Jesus’ baptism, a moment where His true identity is revealed more clearly. As we see who Jesus is, we begin to see ourselves differently. What does it mean for your life that Jesus is called the Beloved—and how might His identity reshape your own?
