Mark 1:16-39 What is the mission of the church? What is the church sent into the world to do? One book on the subject says this is the ‘most discussed and most potentially divisive issue in the evangelical church today’.

Mark 10:45George Orwell said there were four great motives for writing, the first of which was ‘Sheer egoism: desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after your death’. So much of life is self-serving. But that was not so with Jesus, and should not be so with his followers.
Mark 10:45 There’s something magical about Christmas and it’s all tied up with gifts and giving. But why is it ‘the season for giving’? To understand that we need to…
