‘Who is this?’
Where is Jesus in the midst of the storm? Where is Jesus when it hurts? Asleep in the boat?

Jesus is… the generous sower
How can we ensure that our lives are as fruitful as possible?
Jesus is… out of his mind?

Jesus is… a teaching, healing, wandering Rabbi
After Jesus’ baptism Mark takes us through some quickfire stories to show what sort of person Jesus was.
