Good news in our humanity.
Being mortal and human, we are limited by our human nature and only see the outside.
Only God is the one who truly sees – this is ‘Good News’.
Sometimes we fail to see what gift we can to offer.
When we stop looking, it will creep up and surprise us and others.

Lent is a time we need to prepare for the 40 day journey which is ahead of us. Pay attention to ourselves and our surroundings, leave some things behind and become more open to God and his Spirit.
Faith versus Works or Grace versus law?
The age old problem conundrum!
Is it Faith and Grace that is needed to lead us to life in Christ and righteousness?
What kind of king was Jesus?
A king who is also a shepherd who knows us, loves and forgives us.
A king who walked dusty roads, served with a towel and a bowl.
A ruler who sees us as his children and walks with us in joys and sorrows.
The Adult Jesus we encounter in Mark was a busy person – but he
still had a need to find a quiet space to experience silence.
Using times of silence gives an opportunity to have deep and life giving connections with the Divine God and our inner being.
We hear some uncomfortable messages this week. Aaron built a golden calf when he replied to the demands of the people. When the church gets anxious, it creates golden calves. It looses celebration and festivity, trying to save itself. Paul encourages us to not be anxious but with prayer and thanksgiving make our requests known.
“The Miracle of Multiplication” – whatever we offer and it is used well, is multiplied to become all that is needed and more.
The crowd learnt they could do more ‘together’ than
‘apart’! The promise is, not to just survive but to thrive!
