The Invitation

Sermon Description

In this week's message, Pastor Josiah Jansen walks us through Mark 8:27-9:1. Throughout the message, you'll hear biblical and practical examples of personal sacrifice and how this principle applies to our faith lives today. Through this message, we hope that you will be encouraged to live a life devoted to Jesus, reaching the next person, no matter the personal cost of God's calling on your life.

Series Overview

In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter Jesus teaching, healing, confronting, and calling His followers to take part in His mission. Whether through miracles, parables, or encounters with sinners and outcasts, Jesus continually invites people to a new way of living and being, to a life of faith and surrender to God's purposes.

This series is a call to respond to Jesus—not just to hear about Him, but to follow Him, to be transformed by Him, and to invite others into the same journey. Throughout Mark's account of Jesus' life, we see Jesus extending an invitation to people of all walks of life to experience the radical love, power, and truth of God's kingdom. This invitation is not one to be taken lightly; it demands a response.
