Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you with me, so that you can be where I am.

Pastor Tim Horman from One Church Blackburn unpacks Jesus’ powerful announcement in Mark 1:14–15 — that the kingdom of God has come near. Discover how the gospel reaches far beyond personal salvation, as King Jesus renews all things and calls us to live as Spirit-filled citizens of His upside-down kingdom.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. (NRSV)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (NRSV)
