How can you meet Jesus? One of the great ways is through a short booklet in the Bible called “Mark’s Gospel”, which was written by those close to Jesus just a few years after he died. On this page we list links (most of which we produced ourselves) that help you discover Mark’s Gospel and its meaning. Through them you can meet Jesus and discover why it matters you should do so. Give him your attention and he will utterly transform your life for good.
You need to know that Mark’s gospel is split into 16 chapters, each of which has a number of verses in it. To refer to a particular part of the booklet, you put the chapter number, then a colon, followed by the verse number’; so 2:4 means “chapter two, verse four”. We’ve used that below to show what part of Mark each resource connects to. Where videos of talks/sermons are available, a separate link is provided for them. This page is currently incomplete and new resources will be appearing.
