Sermon Title: Preparing the Way (Mark 1:4–8)
Preacher: Brian Moore

Mark calls us to true preparation: God—not us—is at the center; the King is coming. John reminds us that repentance and forgiveness are God’s work, and only Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. What does readiness look like? A clear focus on the King, humble, God-centered—ready for the “wedding,” not the “funeral.”
