Contagious Holiness (3 of 9)
Series: All Things Well
Will McGee
Mark 1:21-45
We are studying through the Gospel of Mark.
Mark wrote this gospel (20 yrs after Jesus death) because lot of people were saying a lot of things about Jesus. Giving their own interpretation. All these myths.

Mark writes this gospel because he doesn't want us to create and worship a Jesus of our own choosing... He wants to show us who the real Jesus is. Then call us to worship that Jesus.

- A day in the life of Jesus. We're going to discover who the real Jesus is by spending a day with him.
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
AS ONE WHO HAD AUTHORITY
This is the first time Jesus has preached a sermon. He's beginning his public ministry right here.
- So far in Mark... Jesus has been baptized... He's been tempted by Satan... he has called his disciples... Assembled his team.
- Now, he begins his ministry. He begins it by prea ...
