Our full Sunday service from 7th May 2023.
Message: Pushing Back and Pressing On - Jamie Fredricks
Rounding out our recent reflections on the post-resurrection stories of Jesus, we looked at the last two episodes of Matthews Gospel. The story of the guards being bribed to lie about Jesus’ body being stolen shows that from the very beginning, people have strained to come up with alternative explanations for the events of Easter. This is not simply a modern phenomena! The Resurrection confronts our settled categories and disturbs our world view… and we as Christians need to allow it to do so, despite this discomfort.
Finally, we looked at ‘the Great Commission’: a very human, but inspiring scene, that propels us out as missionaries to our lives and our worlds. We continued to look at the events related in the Gospels that happened after Jesus’ Resurrection. Jamie reflected on the women who first discovered the empty tomb: However, unfortunately the history of women in the church since then has often been one of marginalisation.
