A young man wants to inherit eternal life, Jesus' response is both challenging and kind. Am I all in?

This week we examine the theology of safeguarding. 

    * The Mandate - every generation must play its part in caring for vulnerable people.

    * The Motivation - Every leader must pursue God’s purpose and priorities for vulnerable people

    * The Mission - Every means must be employed to keep vulnerable people safe, heard and noticed.

Jesus gave His life for "outsiders". Now, He is creating a community who "welcome" each other, value each other above themselves, keep each other faithful and spur each other with love.

Like the disciples we need to  take time listen to Jesus and Gods word, removing distractions and coming ready to hear.

Jesus defines greatness as being ‘a servant to all’, his example means we are to follow in his footsteps empowered by the cross

In this sermon, we explore the significance of Jesus glowing on a mountain and two people from the past speaking with him as described in Mark 9:2-13. The event reveals Jesus' divine glory and is meant to encourage us, despite the challenges and suffering we may face, that we can confidently follow him, knowing that his resurrection glory assures us of the ultimate victory.

Halfway through the Gospels, Jesus begins to say that he will suffer. Even worse, he says that being his disciple means suffering too. How should we understand this for being a Christian today? How does Jesus encourage us that it is worth following him?

It's not always enough to see but we also need to see clearly. Jesus' disciples didn't always see (understand) clearly who Jesus was. How can we make sure we understand Jesus clearly today?
