In his talk, Rob describes briefly his journey of faith. He contrasts this with the Israelites who through their lack of faith wandered the desert for 40 years, and links these thoughts to the grace of God who provided a healing bronze snake lifted up for them, prefiguring the amazing grace of Jesus lifted up on the Cross for our redemption.

Speaker: Revd. Andrew Haines

Readings: Romans 4:13-25,

Mark 8:31-38

Andrew looks at the two passages in the light of last week's reading in three parts:

• Jesus' baptism - Affirmation

• Jesus' temptation - Example

• Beginning of Jesus' Ministry - Challenge

​... and the challenge is Jesus' words, "if you want to be my disciple, take up your cross and follow Me." - Andrew discusses what that means.
