The Gospel of Mark is an eye-witness account from one of the closest followers of Jesus. In this nine-day plan starting April 1, you'll see how Mark carefully crafted his story to show that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah who has come to bring God's kingdom. As we walk through Holy Week and Easter together in worship, this reading plan invites you to experience the full sweep of Mark's Gospel — from Jesus' first miracles to the empty tomb.
