Intro. to the Book of Mark

Pastor Haylee introduces the Gospel of Mark, a text written by Mark, who was a scribe for Peter's account of Jesus' life and ministry. She emphasizes the theme of Jesus' suffering, presenting Him as the "Suffering Son of God." The intended audience was the early Roman church, which was facing persecution for its faith. By emphasizing the commonality of suffering and the promise of vindication, Mark's Gospel offers solace and hope to the persecuted early church.
