Key Acts in Mark: Act 1: Baptism & Ministry Launch (0:55-2:14): John the Baptist prepares the way, and Jesus is baptized, receiving divine endorsement before immediately calling his first disciples. Act 2: Galilean Ministry & Authority (2:15-4:24): Jesus demonstrates authority through miracles—healing, casting out spirits, and calming storms—while using parables to teach about the Kingdom of God (3:02). This act also introduces the conflict with religious leaders. Act 3: The Turning Point (4:25-6:00): Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah (4:56), leading Jesus to define his mission not as political power, but as suffering, death, and resurrection (5:22). Act 4: The Passion (6:01-7:30): The intense final week in Jerusalem, covering his triumphal entry, the Last Supper, betrayal, and crucifixion. The climax occurs when a Roman Centurion declares Jesus the Son of God at his death (7:09). Act 5: The Resurrection (7:31-8:50): Women find the empty tomb, confirming Jesus has risen, demonstrating that sacrifice led to ultimate victory.DiscipleDeck
