Mark 1:14-20

How are you at recognising road signs?  If you are a driver, hopefully you are good.  When I passed my driving test, a very small part of it was understanding and digesting the Highway Code, these days potential drivers must pass a written test first. This week we are going to have an overview of our faith – what it means to live for Jesus, using road signs to help us along the way. Our first sign is the U-Turn.  If you have a satnav, you may get fed-up with the ones that constantly tell you to do a U-Turn – perhaps you have decided you know a better way to go, a better direction to drive – and you are met with a constant patient instruction to ‘when possible, make a U-turn’! In the opinion of the device, you are going in the wrong direction. I guess the start point of the Christian faith is that we are going in the wrong direction – we need to make a U-Turn.
