Mark 1:1-8 - The Message and Example of John the Baptist

September 8th marks the first Sunday of our Fall Fellowship study through the Gospel of Mark with the Francis Chan RightNow Media video series. The Gospel of Mark opens with a description of John the Baptist, the man Jesus describes as the "greatest man born of woman." His message is one of repentance and forgiveness and he is a stark contrast to the church leaders of the day. How do we live in contrast to culture but instead live for the message of the Gospel?
