Mark 8:27-40

Two thousand years ago Jesus decided the best way to share his good news was through a small group of committed friends. We don’t think he ever changed his plan. Join us in discovering how Jesus led his group and what principles from his life and leadership you can apply to yours.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

Join Hillsong East Coast’s online experience and walk through this corresponding plan. This plan is based on Pastor Matt Bartgis's January 2021 message, "Year of Yes". Read through God’s Word within each devotional and reflect through guided questions for both individual consideration and group discussion. We pray it encourages you to reframe your reality.

This plan reflects on Mark 8:27-33, where Jesus asks the life-defining question: “Who do you say that I am?” It challenges us to honestly examine our personal view of Jesus and how that understanding influences our faith and daily choices. The plan explores common perceptions of Jesus, both then and now. It encourages us to embrace Him as the true King of an upside-down kingdom—one built on humility, sacrifice, and servant-hearted leadership.
