Authenticity (Mark 11:1-25)

By Mark, Talks

It’s fair to say we all want to live authentically. So what can we do when we’re faced with the inconsistencies that show up in our own lives? In this passage, Jesus shows us how to deal with the parts of our life that don’t line up with how we want to live, and gives us a relief-valve that releases the pressure of simply ‘putting on a face’ when we sin.

This week, we’re continuing our series in Mark’s Gospel, as Philip walks us through two requests of Jesus. While his disciples ask Jesus for glory, a blind beggar asks Jesus for mercy. And three guesses as to which Jesus is more excited about answering. In this section, we see Jesus’ heart for those who know their need, and his heart to see his followers raising up those who are in need.

Humility (Mark 9:30-50) – Audio Technical Difficulties

By Mark, Talks

All of us have a certain shape to how we make decisions. What we value in life. Who we want to be. What we prioritise. But one of the things that comes with following Jesus is a total re-shaping of our values & direction or aim in life. In this passage, Jesus helps us undertand why he pushes us toward certain ways of living. But he also gives us the power to keep following him – however messy it looks.

Transfiguration (Mark 9:2-29)

By Mark, Talks

Sometimes Jesus says some pretty challenging words to his followers. But if you had the choice to gain the whole world right now, to have everything this world has to offer or to wait to have something promised to us in the future, which would you take? How can we know that following Jesus is worth it? How can we be sure that following Him, through thick and thin, and with everything that we have, is the right investment, is not a waste of time, nor a waste of our lives? In response to his disciples and our concerns we have one of the most dazzling episodes in the Bible-the transfiguration. Here we will catch a glimpse of God’s glory and find the courage and resolve to follow Jesus wherever He chooses to lead us.
