Study Guide: The Gospel of Mark - Introduction

5 day study guide for the Gospel of Mark.

Many scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark was the first of the four Gospels to be written. Though not penned by an Apostle, it carries the strong influence and eyewitness authority of Peter, one of Jesus’ closest disciples.

Mark’s Gospel is short, fast-paced, and focused. It presents Jesus as the promised Messiah, a powerful prophet, and a wise teacher. Through vivid stories and straightforward language, Mark gives us an up-close view of Jesus’ life, His disciples, and His miraculous works.

By reading Mark, we are not just studying history—we are encountering the living Christ. This Gospel invites us to grow deeper in faith, to trust in the power of Jesus’ miracles, and to follow Him as both Savior and Lord.
