This week, in looking at the extraordinary episode in John 13 where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, we experiment with a somewhat different format with two speakers simultaneously sharing their personal thoughts on the passage. We hope you enjoy this ‘conversermon’.

Despite the astounding signs that Jesus performed during his public life - signs that were intended to point to the truth of who Jesus is (John 20:30-31) - many people who witnessed those signs simply refused to believe in him. This week we explore to some extent the nature of belief and how it is belief that enables us to see the glory of God revealed in Christ.

At our Sunday gathering this week, we watched a presentation by Brian McLaren at Willow Creek Community Church to a group of youth leaders in which he talks about four major crises the world is facing today and the relevance of the gospel to those crises.
The attached audio file contains some brief introductory and concluding remarks from Mick Martin.

When Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey, it represented a collision between two kingdoms, both offering a ‘better world’ but with radically different values and methodologies.
