This week we conclude our new Easter series , “He Goes Ahead Of Us.” We jump over to the resurrection story found in John 21:1-14 this week, as we consider how to open ourselves to seeing God and Jesus right where we are.

This week we continue our new Easter series , “He Goes Ahead Of Us.” We pick up where we left off last week in Mark 16, looking at the resurrection stories told verses 9-20. These stories invite us to be open to the ways that Jesus is present with us as he calls us out into new journeys and challenges. He goes ahead of us, yet also walks with us.

Easter is always a special Sunday at St. Andrew’s with lots of music. The video above includes both Easter anthems sung by the choir.

Happy Easter! This week we begin a new series called, “He Goes Ahead Of Us,” that explores the stories of Jesus’ resurrection in Mark and the rest of the New Testament. Today we start with Mark 16:1-8 and sit in the space between hearing the good news of resurrection and being able to hope that it’s true.

This is the sixth and final part of our series for the season of Lent, “Travelling With the King.” This week was Palm Sunday and so we arrive with Jesus in Jerusalem in Mark 11:1-26. We reflect on Jesus’ challenging words and actions in and around the Jerusalem Temple and consider how we are called to make use of God’s ‘house’ today.

This is Part 5 of our series for the season of Lent, “Travelling With the King.” We are journeying with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in chapters 9 and 10 of the Gospel of Mark. This week’s message picks up in Mark 10:32-52 where it becomes clear that even those closest to Jesus continue to struggle with his unique way of life. Yet we also see that there is hope for those who are humble and willing to trust in Jesus’ compassion.

This is Part 4 of our series for the season of Lent, “Travelling With the King.” We are journeying with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in chapters 9 and 10 of the Gospel of Mark. This week’s message picks up in Mark 10:17-31 where Jesus lovingly challenges a wealthy person to give away all their possessions to the poor before following him. We consider what this story has to teach us about letting go and trusting God ourselves.
