#2 "Following Rabbi Jesus"

Making a good first impression matters, whether you are going to a job interview, out on a date or meeting a new friend, we know that first impressions shape how someone views and thinks about us. Open your Bible to Mark 1:16-45 as we see a day in the ministry of Jesus and learn that peoples constant first impression of Jesus was awe at His authority. Whether they love Jesus or hated him, everyone took Him seriously. Let's open our Bibles to the Gospel of Mark and learn about Jesus' compelling authority to make disciples, Jesus' cleanses authority to rid us of the demonic and Jesus' healing authority to restore our brokenness. The same Jesus of the Gospel of Mark is ruling and reigning from Heaven and continues to make disciples, beat back the darkness, and heal the broken. Lord Jesus, heal us, cleanse us, and make us your disciples who want to be with you, like you, and to do what you have done.
