From Mark

 

Hi Folks

 

The week it’s Mothering Sunday and there’s no let-up in Mark’s Gospel and the amazing picture he presents of Jesus. But, as though it had been planned for the occasion, we encounter a woman of amazing faith in Chapter 7.

 

Mark on Mark will remind you of where we got up to last Sunday:-

Mark 6:30–52 :The feeding of the five thousand evokes the imagery of Israel as sheep without a shepherd and presents Jesus as the one who provides in the wilderness, acting with divine authority yet through ordinary means. The subsequent walking on the sea deepens this revelation, echoing Old Testament descriptions of God’s mastery over the waters. Yet Mark underlines the disciples’ failure to understand, linking it explicitly to their lack of insight from the loaves. Jesus’ power is disclosed, but its significance remains unrecognised by his disciples.

Church AGM and Members’ Meeting on Monday (16th) at 7.30 p.m.
