Mark 1-8

In the New Testament Gospel of Mark, we meet Jesus, the man who is King. But this king comes to serve--not to be served. He eats with sinners rather than royalty. His crown is made of thorns instead of gold. This twenty session LifeGuide® Bible Study guide introduces you to the compassionate, suffering, astonishing king who calls us to follow him.
