It's good to have someone who loves us enough to tell us the hard words we may not really want to hear, isn't it! Jesus isn't afraid to say hard things. In Mark 8, Peter may not want to hear what Jesus has to say to him, but Jesus loves him - and us - enough to say it anyway! Bringing the kingdom of God required Jesus to go to the cross then, and it will mean following Jesus on the way of the cross today. Can we do that and still be a people of joy and freedom? Absolutely.

John explores changes in our sense of who we are using the story of Abram and Sarai, and Marks Gospel and Peter. So who are we invited to be if we stand where Peter stood? You can read the text of this at

2nd Sunday in Lent (Year B) Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16, Psalm 22:23-31, Romans 4:13-25, Mark 8:31-38

Having been drawn together by God’s deep love and inspired by Jesus’ message of radical servanthood, Immanuel is a community in which we believe in practicing God’s extravagant welcome.

John explores the importance of names, and suggest that our name be based on the character of God, and asks what name God might be inviting us into. He then explores Jesus saying that those who follow him are to pick up their cross and follow him. How does this change who we are? What I want to happen: People to reflect on what they might be invited to let go of this lent.
