Welcome back to the Bible Study Podcast. In this episode, we answer two foundational questions for believers and non-believers alike: What is the gospel—and who is Jesus? Using Mark 1 as our starting point, we unpack how Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and why the gospel is an announcement of good news, not good advice.

In this episode we talk about:
• What Jesus meant by “the time has come” and “the Kingdom of God is at hand”
• Why the gospel is good news (an announcement), not good advice (self-help)
• The difference between a geocentric faith and a Christ-centered worldview• Why Jesus’ main message was the Kingdom of God—not just moral behavior
• What repentance and belief actually mean: changing your mind, changing direction, returning home
• How Jesus demonstrates the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and restoration
• Why the cross matters: sin, death, and the devil defeated through Jesus
• What the resurrection means: the beginning of new creation
• What it means to pray “Your Kingdom come” and live as Kingdom participants today
• How the Holy Spirit transforms us over time and shapes discipleship in real life
