A message from the series "The Gospel of Mark." (Mark 8:34-9:1)
As we continue exploring Mark's Gospel, Jesus takes the opportunity to turn his teaching moment with Peter into some important lessons for the whole crowd of people following Him. Jesus shares what it means, and what it costs to be His disciple - the same cost and meaning as for us today.
Join us as Iain unpacks and considers Jesus' challenging words in this passage.

(Romans 12:9-21)

Relationships are such a huge part of life - We have friendships, family relationships, work colleagues, teammates.... the list goes on.
When they work well these relationships are life-giving and encouraging. Yet sometimes, these same relationships can start to cause friction. What are we meant to do when sparks begin to fly?
