The Disciple Life

The Disciple Life | Dr. Kelly Wheat | 10:30 a.m.

Before dawn, Jesus slips away to pray—Mark 1:35–39 shows us the rhythm of mission rooted in communion with the Father. In these verses Jesus models intentional solitude: he rises early, seeks a quiet place, and pours his heart out to God. When his disciples find him, he clarifies that prayer is not an escape from people but the source of direction for ministry. Sent not to linger in one town but to proclaim, Jesus demonstrates that spiritual replenishment fuels faithful obedience.
