Today, we are introduced to a new character in the passage we have read. Joseph of Arimathea… At first glance, it seems like another character who fills a space in the narrative, but as we compare all four Gospels, we see a much bigger picture. Joseph was not just a kind man who did a good thing. He was a secret follower of Jesus with the added tension of being a council member... let's see how this fascinating and challenging story in the Gospel plays out.

We are approaching the climax of the book of Mark. Mark has led us on an extraordinary journey, a journey that began with the opening statement, which said… “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.” In this passage, we hear those words echoed by a gentile witness, A Roman Centurian who concludes, “Surely his man was the Son of God!”

What we read here in Acts 2:42-47 was a direct consequence of what happened on Pentecost. That the people who encountered Jesus that day had a transforming and uniting experience… It is often easy to miss the profound consequences of that day beyond just the supernatural experiences. Following what happened on that day, cultural, ethnic, and linguistic challenges aside, the people began to live and act as a community, as a family, with a new identity. Becoming a new creation, kingdom people.

Here we find Peter denying Jesus three times, just as Jesus had told him. Each of his denials becomes more emphatic each time. Then the rooster crows for the second time, and Peter remembered what Jesus had told him, and he broke down and wept. Mark wants us to see that there are no superheroes, just those who, despite their humanity, cling to the lamb...as if their very lives depend on it.

A silence that is loud and heavy… A silence that rattles the accusers, the potential judges and jury. Silence before his accusers. There was no need for Jesus to respond to the fictitious accusations. All nonsense! Lies concocted by desperate people. In the face of dark and desperate accusation, we see Jesus, as in the song Meekness and Majesty!

The difficult truth is that we can be around God’s people, in Judas's case, spending time with Jesus, going through the motions, being involved in godly things, and even living sacrificial lives. Yet if we do not guard our hearts, we can find ourselves betraying the most important and precious things. Judas betrayal and the consequences of his action are a warning to us all to take care of our hearts.

Today is the day we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. This morning, we leapt to Mark 16 and looked at the first eight verses. This details the events of that momentous morning. We particularly considered those who witnessed the event. Mary Magdalene, Mary, mother of James and Salome. Jesus even here continues to turn the social norms of his day upside down.

All four Gospel accounts reflect something of what we read in Mark's Gospel today. We see that this meal Jesus longed for was not going to be the calm, reflective evening that we sometimes imagine. However, we see that the disciples are faced with the fact that one of them will shortly betray Jesus. Time is ticking, now not a matter of days before Jesus is betrayed, beaten and crucified, it's hours. Jesus' destiny is now imminent.

We pick up today where Jesus is still replying to the question posed by disciples regarding the statement that this massive, incredible temple building will soon, despite its grandeur, be nothing more than a pile of rubble. Jesus continues his conversation with the disciples with a lesson from a fig tree as an illustration about how to recognise the extraordinary times that they were about to face.

It was the best of everything: marble and gold and beautiful stone, but Jesus said it would be raised to the ground. The disciples had been witnesses to amazing things, and yet even this sounded almost too incredible. However, their question to Jesus is not so much how but when? And what will be the signs?

What should I expect?   Be' ddylwn i'n disgwyl?

We're always happy to meet new people, and visitors to us. We have an informal structure but the morning service usually takes the pattern of Story-Telling, Worship, Breaking of Bread and Prayer, and Teaching from the Bible.  The teaching time is aimed at 20 minutes with 10 minutes of discussion time either within or at the end of the talk. Once a month and throughout August we have an all-age service called 'Allsorts' where hopefully there is a little something for everyone! Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

Dan ni'n hapus iawn i gyfarfod pobl newydd, ac ymwelwyr hefyd. Mae ein gwasanaethau yn anffurfiol, a fel arfer yn cynnwys amser i addoli, cael cymun, ac i amser i rannu storiau a hanes. Bydd 'na bregeth pob wythnos am ~20 munud gydag fel arfer 10 munud i sgwrsio ac ymateb. Unwaith y mis, a thrwy gydol mis Awst rydym cael gwasanaeth 'Allsorts' i bob oedran lle gobeithio bydd 'na rywbeth bach i bawb!
Lluniaeth ysgafn ar gael ar ôl y gwasanaeth. Digon o amser i sgwrsio, gofyn ychydig o gwestiynau ac wrth cwrs, dod i nabod ein gilydd yn well. 

 

What about children and youth?  Be' am y plant a phobl ifanc?

 

We run a specific program just for children and young people. Most weeks the children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs, tell our stories and break bread with one another!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will usually announce when the children need to go to their respective programs. If it's your first time, you will need to go with your children and register them.

Rydym yn cynnal rhaglen benodol ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc. Fel arfer, dyn ni i gyd yn addoli efo;n gilydd i ddechrau, a wedyn mae''r plant  a phobl ifanc yn mynd allan i'w grwpiau penodol. Bydd rhywun yn esbonio yn ystod y bore! Os dach chi'n dod am y tro cyntaf, ewch efo'ch plant i'w cofrestu diolos gwelwch chi'n dda. 

Our aim is to make sure every child can be themselves in a safe and welcoming environment. Our children's workers are DBS checked and we have safeguarding procedures in place, we take our responsibility for the safety of children and young people very seriously.

We want the kids to have great fun whilst learning more about Jesus and meeting with Him.
 

Rydym ni eisiau'r plant cael hwyl yn dysgu am Iesu, a dod i nabod yr Arglwydd yn well. 

If you have any questions about the programmes or want to know more about bringing your kids along on a Sunday then please email us or fill in our Contact Us form.
