We begin a brand new series in the Gospel of Mark. Written by John Mark, a young follower of Jesus with close ties to early church leaders like Peter and Paul, this gospel captures firsthand accounts of Jesus' ministry focusing on its background and unique aspects. The narrative starts with John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus by preaching repentance and baptizing people and Jesus himself.

Walking in the light does not mean perfection but a life of repentance. As we wrap up our series, Pastor Paul reminded us about what God has been revealing through 1 John - foundational truths that requires our response. God has called us to reflect his light in this lost and dying world.

Last Sunday, we were reminded that an effective prayer life starts with aligning our desires with God's will. When we pray, we can have full confidence that God hears us and He will answer with the best response.

"God has called us to make a difference, not just an impression."

Pastor Paul encouraged us as believers to fearlessly live out their faith, openly practice our beliefs, and make a genuine impact in our city through unity and boldness. We are to reflect God's light in a dark world, to stand firm in the face of opposition, and live in a manner worthy of the gospel as highlighted in the Apostle Paul's teachings.

"Jesus is God and eternal life is found through him. That's the message of the gospel. That's the message for you. That's the message for this city. And it's the message for the world. And what a privilege that God has entrusted us with that message."

Pastor Paul outlines the Apostle John's reluctance to conclude his letter, emphasizing his desire to reiterate critical truths about Christian faith, particularly the characteristics of genuine believers. Paul discussed three main tests to ascertain one's faith: belief in Jesus Christ, joyful obedience to God's commands, and victory over worldly challenges through faith. Faith is not simply saying what God says is true; true faith is acting on what God says, because it is true.
