“On The Edge – Permission To Speak”

Five Wednesdays following Ash Wednesday, 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the church

How do you account for / explain the different versions of the same event? To what extent does it matter in your understanding and experience of Jesus that the details that describe such a fundamental event in his life are not an agreed Gospel record across Mark, Matthew and Luke?

Why did John ignore all of the details of the baptism of Jesus?

These questions and more are looked at in this 5-week Lent Course led by Pastor Don. A simple meal of soup and bread will be served, starting at 5:30, and the discussion will commence at 6:00 pm

The schedule:

March 4: Mark 1: 9 – 11 The baptism of Jesus: contradictory Gospel stories

March 11: Mark 8: 31 – 38 Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

March 18: John 2: 13 – 22 Jesus Cleanses the Temple: once or twice?

March 25: John 3:14 – 21 For God so loved the world: one of the most out of context and misquoted verses in the whole of the Christian Testament

April 1: John 12:20 – 35 Passiontide and John’s Gospel (It is recommended, but not required, to attend all five sessions.)• We are looking for five hosts to provide a simple meal of soup and bread for each gathering.
