Mark 15:1-20  The trials of Jesus are clearly portrayed as

corrupt, a mockery of justice.  But it is that mockery of Justice that helps us

see clearly, to know that it shouldn’t be Him that dies.  If only someone would

speak up, but of course that would blow our cover too.

Father's Day 2015

Why Aren't Dad Jokes Funny? - What is it with dads and dad jokes?  Everbody knows they aren't funny, but dads keep telling them.  What does it say about dads, and the perception of who they are and the place they have in families and society?

Mark 14:53-72  People are so passionate!  So angry!  Why?!  What

are they so angry at?!  What happens when we finally have a target for our

anger?! What happens when that target is us?!

1 John 3:16  The words of the Apostle encourage us to "...lay down our lives for the brethren".  What though does this mean?  How does this look in our daily lives?  To follow Christ, and His example, is not always easy or comfortable, but it is always rewarding.

Mark 14:32-52  In the first garden mankind betrayed God and

would not submit. Second garden, second Adam. This time He will obey even when

He knows it will kill Him.

Mark 14:10-31  The hardest evil to forgive comes from those closest

to us. But perhaps that’s the greatest lesson on grace, that Jesus ate and

drank with Judas.

Mark 14:1-9  Isn’t it odd that the people who were trying to

be the best, the most moral, the most good- are the ones that killed Jesus? Why

is right winged moralism at odds with Jesus? But before we get too hippy- why

does left winged liberalism want to cut Jesus out of the picture too?

The Presentation of the Gospel - Pastor Barry Silverback

  This week we are blessed to have Pastor Barry Silverback visit us and deliver two messages to our church.  In this first message, we are challenged to reconsider what the gospel is, and how we should present it to the world.

Where is the Lamb? - Pastor Barry Silverback

  In the second message from Pastor Barry Silverback this weekend, he asks us to take a look at out motives in living our christian lives.  Who, or what is the great motivational genesis for all that we do?  What is it that drives us to do the things we do?

The Wounded Healer

  We've all been there at one time or another, doubting that God would want to use us.  We're all aware of our own wounds and weaknesses, and so God must be even more aware of them, so why would He want to use us to help others?  Peter Heyworth brings an encouraging message reminding us that God's ways are not our ways.
