Summary

Before any healings or miracles, Jesus’ ministry begins with a declaration of identity. In Mark 1, as Jesus rises from the water, God the Father declares: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” In this first message of our new series, Jesus on the Move, Pastor Andy Wood explores the life and ministry of Jesus through the Gospel of Mark. Pastor Andy walks through Jesus’ identity revealed, the kingdom of heaven inaugurated, and His obedience tested in the wilderness. We’re challenged to reflect on our own identity. Everything we do flows from who we believe we are. Because of Jesus, we are given a new identity as children of God, invited into His mission and strengthened for our own wilderness seasons.
