The Gospel of Mark - The Water and the Wilderness - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 11 January 2026)

In this sermon from Mark 1:9–13, Roydon Frost invites us to meet Jesus as both humble man and the divine Son of God, beginning with His baptism in the Jordan where the Spirit descends and the Father’s voice affirms His identity. The narrative then follows Jesus into the wilderness, highlighting His confrontation with temptation and His obedience in the face of hostility. These opening events reveal that Jesus’ mission is to conquer evil through suffering service—not worldly power—and to identify with humanity in our need for forgiveness. If who Jesus truly is shapes the course of your life, understanding Him here offers a transformative foundation for faith in 2026 and beyond.
