SERMON NOTES

Bankrupt the Grave: Week 1

Series Big Idea:

Jesus didn’t just come to simply defeat death; He came to empty it of its power over our lives. In the Gospel of Mark, we follow the real Jesus as He confronts the brokenness of our world and brings resurrection to the places we thought were dead.

Mark 1:15
“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Mark doesn’t start with dates or manuscripts or long lineages. It starts with something different. It's URGENT.

Mark 1:1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The time has come.

The kingdom of God has come near.

Repent and believe the good news!
