All through Mark’s Gospel, the big question has been ‘Who is Jesus?’ – and in this week’s passage, things come to a head, as Peter answers that question, “You are the Messiah”. But what kind of Messiah is Jesus?

We continue our series in Mark’s Gospel as Phil considers Jesus’ warning about the ‘yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod’. Is Jesus talking about bread or something else? Listen in as Phil unpacks Jesus’ warning and shows how it applies to our current context.

Continuing our series in Mark’s Gospel, Phil looks at two stories that show that Jesus has come to save all kinds of people – to bring sight to those who are spiritually blind and bread to those who are spiritually hungry. There’s no-one ‘too bad’ or too hopeless to be saved by Jesus.

Join James as he explore the story of Jesus’ meeting with a Gentile woman in Mark 7:24-30. This story raises questions for us – why does Jesus respond to her in the way he does? How should we react when we come across parts of the Bible we find hard to understand?

‘The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart’ – is the focus of today’s passage. Join us as Phil unpacks some hard sayings of Jesus – but also reminds us that Jesus didn’t come for those who think they’re good enough, but for those who know they need help.

After a gap of a few years, we’re resuming our sermon series in Mark’s Gospel, called ‘Meet the King’. This week, Phil looks at how people can elevate human traditions above God’s word, and how this applies in our current church context.
