Part 2 in our series “The Coming King” on the first half of Mark’s Gospel. Text: Mark 1:14-2:12. Preached by Martin Parker on Sunday 21st June 2015. (Part 1 was a family service looking at the witness of Scripture, the witness of John the Baptist and the witness of God). Here Jesus’ authority to teach is backed up by acts of authority: authority over evil spirits, authority over sickness, authority to remove ceremonial uncleanness and authority to forgive sins.
