"What if following Jesus isn't about adding something to your life, but completely changing how you live?" In this first message of our Gospel of Mark series, Pastor Steve Van Denend breaks down the opening verse of Mark's gospel and explores what it really means to follow Jesus. He tackles the big questions we all have - who is Jesus, why does He matter, and what does discipleship look like in a world that's constantly pulling us in different directions. Drawing from personal stories and practical insights, Steve unpacks how the Gospel of Mark challenges us to move beyond casual Christianity and commit to a genuine, life-altering journey with Christ. Whether you're new to faith, feeling stuck, or just curious about what following Jesus could look like, this message offers a fresh, honest perspective on spiritual life.
