Jesus - mad, bad or God? - Sunday 6th June 2021

Jesus - mad, bad or God? - Sunday 6th June 2021

Sorry we didn’t manage to livestream the service this morning.

However, we recorded the sermon at St Stephen’s. We thought about what family means. Jesus family thought he was mad, the religious leaders thought he was bad, Jesus offers those who believe he’s God the chance to join his family. Listen to Rosemary preach on the gospel reading from Mark 3

“Love as Christ loved us” Does the bible set the bar too high? Listen to Mike’s talk to see what he thinks.

Hear how he makes a connection to Prince Philip and the Queen.

We know our bodies are wasting away but our citizenship is in heaven - this is the hope that Queen has and so do we.

Beauty for Ashes

Beauty for Ashes

The restrictions of lockdown this Lent present us with a real opportunity to go through this season focusing on own selves and souls, and potentially reap the rewards of a holier, deeper and more wholesome relationship with the Lord, at the end of it.

Lent then is the perfect opportunity to return to our deep relationship with God, to listen to him, to offer the ashes of our own lives, that he may exchange them for beauty, and give us hope, courage, mercy and love in abundance.

On Sunday morning, I took the well known opening passage from John’s Gospel and talked about three things:

  • Through this passage we are welcomed into the story of God personally.

  • We as the Church are called to be light to the world.

  • God came to us. To be with us, to be close to us.

There are a wide variety of things that we can do to deepen our relationship with God, even in lockdown. God isn’t limited by social distancing like we are. The crucial thing is that we do something rather than nothing.
