This week we look at Mark 10:35-45, in Jesus’ disciples squabble – and Jesus reminds them that following him is about humility, not glory. What happens when we choose the least desirable seats, with the "least desirable" people? 

This week we look at Mark 10:17-31, in which Jesus talks about wealth and the gifts of following him - and how wealth can be an obstacle to the relationship he offers us. We have a spiritual inheritance we can spend already - if we can just loosen our grip on our material security.

This week we look at Mark 10:17-31, in which Jesus talks about wealth and the gifts - and challenges - of following him. He says it is almost impossible for the rich to enter the realm of God. Today we explore how  our wealth might keep us from fully inviting the power and love of God into our lives.

This week we look at Mark 10:17-31, in which Jesus talks about wealth and the gifts of following him. Today we explore what it would be like to unencumber ourselves from our wealth and possessions. 

This week we look at Mark 10:17-31, in which Jesus talks about wealth and the gifts of following him. He invites someone to walk away from all his wealth, first "looking at him with love." Jesus looks at us with love to - how might we become more aware of that, and let it in?

This week we look at Mark 10:2-16, in which Jesus talks about some hard things –and then says we need to be like children to receive the gifts God has for us. Can we do that when we're already past childhood? Our life in God may well depend on learning how!

This week we look at Mark 10:2-16, in which Jesus talks about some hard things –and then the children get into the act. Children had no status in his day and times - yet he says to them belongs the Kingdom of God. What do they have to teach us about holiness? 

This week we look at Mark 10:2-16, in which Jesus gives some painful teaching about divorce – and how to come into God’s kingdom. We can respond to this rather harsh word by trying harder, trying to control others more - or allowing the grace of our loving and merciful God to rule in our lives. 

This week we look at Mark 10:2-16, in which Jesus gives some painful teaching about divorce – and how to come into God’s kingdom. Today we reflect on what marriage is, and is not, and who is responsible for upholding it (hint, it's not just the couple...)
