Starting Monday July First at 8 am Eastern Daylight time, We will begin our deep dive thru the book of Mark.

Editing note Colossians 4 verses 3 and 4 Paul says "Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should."

I, Khalil and not pastor Chris, mistakenly say "Pray that we will proclaim this message as clearly as we should." so yes do pray for us.

In this first episode of Pilgrim Bible Study podcast, Senior Pastor Chris shares about John the Baptist who was sent by God to prepare the way for Jesus - a role he fulfilled through his baptism of repentance and his proclamation of a coming Messiah. As believers, our mission is also to make ready the path for Jesus Christ and share the Gospel with those around us. This episode serves as an introduction to Mark's Gospel, which will be our focus throughout this podcast series. We invite you to join us on this journey of studying God's Word and growing closer to Christ while spreading His love to others.

In this episode, Pastor Chris delves into the early chapters of the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Mark 1:9-15. He explains the significance of Jesus' baptism, how it identifies him with fallen mankind and marks his acceptance by God the Father. As we explore this passage, we learn about the testing Jesus faced in the wilderness and how he overcame Satan through the power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Furthermore, Pastor Chris highlights the importance of repentance and belief as central themes in the ministry of Jesus and challenges us to share this message with those around us. Join us as we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark, discovering the richness of Jesus' life and teachings.
