Sermon series: The Unexpected King

THE UNEXPECTED KINGDOM

Have you ever wondered, “Why Jesus?” Not just, “Who is he?,” but also why he was born and what he came to to do?

Last fall we began a series from the Gospel of Mark entitled “The Unexpected King.” We looked at the first half of Mark’s Gospel, which is all about the question, “Who is this One who claims (and, by all appearances, seemed) to be such a different kind of King?” This spring, we are going to pick up our study of Mark, this time looking at the second half of the Gospel. In this part of the book, the questions changes dramatically to, “Why did Jesus come?” Or, put another way: What did this unexpected and unlikely King come to do, and why?

We invite you to join us as we explore together the purpose of Jesus.
