Episode Description from the Publisher

New Testament Themes E1 — When we open the New Testament and start reading about Jesus, his message, and his mission, it’s not what most people imagine when they think of Christianity. Early on, we find the phrase “Kingdom of God” or “Kingdom of Heaven.” But what does this phrase mean? Why is it important to Jesus? And what bigger storyline is it a part of? This first message in a six-part series gives an introduction to Jesus and his mission, as it’s offered in the Gospel of Mark. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on September 23, 2012. OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode’s official transcript.
