Mark 1:14-20
THE CALL OF THE GOSPEL


1. A CALL TO REPENT. (15)
“Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out.”
Acts 3:19 (CSB)

  •  A Disciple experiences a growing freedom from sin.

“So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires…Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him. Colossians 3:5,10 (NLT)

2. A CALL TO BELIEVE (15)
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!” II Corinthians 5:17 (CSB)

  •  A Disciple finds their identity in Christ.

“My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 (NLT)

3. A CALL TO FOLLOW. (16-20)
“Now great crowds were traveling with Him. So He turned and said to them: ‘If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, and even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.’” Luke 14:25-26

  • A Disciple is on mission with Jesus.

“And Jesus replied, ‘Let Me assure you that no one has ever given up anything for love of Me and to tell others the Good News, who won’t be given back, a hundred times over…All these will be his here on earth, and in the world to come he shall have eternal life.’” Mark 10:29-30 (LB)
