Repent and Believe

Mark’s Gospel is sometimes called the "newspaper gospel." He doesn’t fill in every detail or tell every event but keeps a very fast-paced record of Jesus’ life and ministry. When we come to verse 14 of chapter 1, it had been around one year since Jesus’ baptism and temptation in the wilderness, and here we find Jesus back up in the northern part of Israel in Galilee. Mark says, "Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" In today's episode, we examine Jesus' message about the kingdom of God, repentance, and belief.
