A sample date label for testing
Tim Keller writes that “Jesus’s life, death and resurrection form the central event of cosmic and human history as well as the central organising principle of our own lives. Said another way, the whole story of the world – and of how we fit into it – is most clearly understood through a careful, direct look at the story of Jesus” (King’s Cross).
The aim of this series is to enable us to take a careful, direct look at Jesus in the pages of Mark’s Gospel, so we can better understand his supreme significance in history, and the need to keep him central to our lives.

Talk by Andrew Sampson
Jesus will not allow us to accommodate him into our old lives. He calls
us to an entirely new way to live. Andrew Sampson examines the contrast
between the self-interest of the religious scribes and the total
sacrifice of the poor widow to explain what being
part of God’s kingdom is all about.

Talk by Matt Leach
Relevant for then and relevant for now this story packs a punch far above the weight of it’s few verses. Extra details and a crunch of gears just help to make us wonder what Jesus was talking about. Matt endeavours to explain the significance.

Talk by Andrew Sampson
When Jesus entered the Jerusalem temple during the Jewish festival of Passover, he overturned the money-changers’ tables and drove out those who were buying and selling there. Why did he do it? Andrew Sampson explains how Jesus’ protest spoke of God’s judgement on His people and His intention to replace the temple with something better, namely Jesus’ perfect sacrifice. How shall we respond?
