[Step into the Story] Homeland
July 22, 2015 17:34 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBThings were about to get uncomfortable for Peter.

July 22, 2015 16:51 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBAfter 8 weeks of seeing Jesus do the miraculous, Peter and the disciples are now sent out with instructions to do the same thing.

[Step into the Story] One Small Step
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBPeter was the leading disciple of Jesus. He preached all around the Roman Empire about what had happened when Jesus invited him to step into his story. Peter's friend Mark travelled with him and wrote down his experiences in order to give you and me a ringside seat on Jesus' ministry. This first message in a new series invites you to step into the story. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/118273757
[Step into the Story] What Lies Beneath
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBMark wants you to know that Jesus of Nazareth was weak. He goes out of his way to demonstrate it. He doesn't want us to see Jesus as just our Saviour. He also wants us to see Jesus as our model for how to bring God's power to the world. He wants us to grasp the secret of his effectiveness. Mark lifts the lid on Jesus' ministry in order to show us what lies beneath. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/124825332
[Step into the Story] Murder Mystery
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBWe are half way through Mark's gospel and have reached a turning point. The mystery is lifted and Jesus is revealed as the Christ - the promised and longed for Messiah who will save his people and reign for eternity.

[Step into the Story] Meet Mr Impossible
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBAll of us face impossible situations. That's why Jesus took Peter on a journey into foreign lands and brought him face to face with the first-century Mr Impossible. He wanted to teach him how to face up to big challenges by having faith in an even bigger God. He wants to teach you the same lesson as you listen to this message. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/121679798
[Step into the Story] Heroes And Villains
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBYou have to feel some sympathy for Peter. In Mark 1 he lost his business and now in Mark 2 he loses his roof. To cap it all Jesus offends his home town rabbis and invites himself to dinner with Peter's worst enemy! What is he teaching Peter? A lesson that we need to learn too, that unless we are wise enough to admit we are sick we wont get healed, and unless we are humble enough to call out for a saviour we wont get saved. Jesus shows him that sometimes this world's heroes are villains and t...
[Step into the Story] Look Whos Talking
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBIn the movie 'The Usual Suspects', Kevin Spacey claims that "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist." As Peter starts to follow Jesus, he discovers that this is true. He discovers that there is a battle raging all around him between truth and lies. Jesus tells him think before believing everything. He warns him to look who's talking. If you want to live smart in a culture full of spin and lies, then this message is for you. You can also watch at: ht...
[Step into the Story] The Devils Last Hope
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBThere is a rout going on. As Peter looks around, he sees that Jesus has the Devil on the run in ancient Israel.

You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/122959977
[Step into the Story] Mystery Story
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBMark presents his gospel as a mystery story and Peter isn't exactly Sherlock Holmes. It takes him a long time to work out who Jesus is and even longer to work out what that means for his own life. Peter is very honest with us about this because he knows that we all struggle with the same questions. This message brings us face to face with Jesus and helps us to understand what his identity means for us all. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/120407227
[Step into the Story] Write Your Own Ending
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBHow do you end an amazing story like Mark's gospel? Well - Mark doesn't actually end it at all. He leaves his gospel unfinished so that we can write our own endings. The Bible contains two endings which were written by the early Christians as examples for us to follow. Now Mark tells us that it is time for us to write an ending of our own. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/133337005
[Step into the Story] City Farm
July 22, 2015 16:51 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBJesus tells 3 parables which involve sowing seed. And if the seed is the good news about Jesus, then we want to be farmers who sow so much seed that London becomes a city farm, with a huge harvest. The good news is that if there are rocks in your way, they can be pulled up. If there are thorns choking the life out of you, those thorns can be uprooted, and there is power in the seed to change your life forever. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/121026930
[Step into the Story] How To Pray For Healing
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 37 minutes - 33.9 MBJesus expected his disciples to be able to heal a boy who was demonised and mute. And Jesus let them know how exasperated he was by their failure to do so. Why did Jesus expect his followers to heal? Should we expect healing's today? The boy’s Dad expressed doubt and unbelief to Jesus. But Jesus healed the boy anyway. This is hugely encouraging for us! You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/126923970
[Step into the Story] This Is What Winning Looks Like
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBEverybody prefers winning to losing. But Jesus has a different way of winning, which doesn't much look like ours. He wants to teach us the way to genuine long-lasting victory. This only happens when we discover how to walk each day on his death-and-resurrection road. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/131705018
[Step into the Story] Thank God I Failed
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBPeter failed and failed big time. He isn't embarrassed to admit it. He tells us all about it because he sees it as the foundation of all the amazing things God did through his life later. He actually thanks God that he failed. When you see why, it will make you see your own disappointments in a different light too. Peter wants to help you to thank God whenever you fail. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/132305527
[Step into the Story] Surprise Ending
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 38 minutes - 35 MBAs Jesus dies on the cross, the curtain that symbolically separated God from people in the Jewish temple was torn in two from top to bottom (vs38) and the surprise ending to Mark’s gospel is that the first person to go in is... a pagan, a Roman Centurion (vs39), who probably knew almost nothing about the life of Jesus. Do you think you’re too bad a person to become a Christian? How bad are you? Do you kill people for a living? If so, the good news is that you can be forgiven. You can come in ...
[Step into the Story] Fists And Open Hands
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBIt isn't how much you give that matters. It's how much you hold back. That's what Jesus told his disciples a couple of days before his crucifixion. He wants to teach us the same lesson from an astonishingly generous woman. He wants to take us on the adventure of living generously every day. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/130098860
[Step into the Story] School Of Rock
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBIt's one thing to want Jesus to change your life but it's another thing to actually see it happen. That's why Simon got so excited when Jesus gave him the new name Peter, meaning "Rocky". It meant that Jesus was promising to teach him how to let God make his ordinary life something extraordinary. Let Mark explain how you can become a fellow student along with Peter in the School of Rock. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/120350227
[Step into the Story] Both Eyes On Jesus
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBLife is pretty challenging when you can only see out of one eye. It means you have no depth perception. It's even harder, though, when you only grasp one aspect of who Jesus is. This message explores how people failed to see the full picture about Jesus, and how a blind man saw it all so clearly. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/128161758
[Step into the Story] Who Do You Think You Are?
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 38 minutes - 35 MBThe Jewish priests and rulers were constantly trying to trip Jesus up into saying something they can use to condemn Him with, and He never falls for it. Today, Sean looks 3 episodes of the rulers questioning Jesus' authority, and how He responds. Who does Jesus think He is anyway? And who are we in relation to Him, and how should that change our lives? You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/129537592
[Step into the Story] Road Trip
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MBForget "Easy Rider" and "Thelma & Louise". The greatest road-trip story ever is the one which takes place in Mark 9-10. The character development is out of this world. As Jesus takes his disciples on a road trip to Jerusalem, he prepares them for his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension back to heaven. He teaches them what kind of people they need to be and what kind of church will change their world. Through this message, Jesus invites you to join him on his road trip too. You can also wa...
[Step into the Story] Get Ready!
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBAs Jesus' disciples sit on the Mount of Olives marvelling at the huge Temple structure beneath them, Jesus looks forward through AD history and warns them to get ready for the turmoil and upheaval to come. These are some of the most disturbing words that Jesus spoke, but mingled amongst them are wonderful promises and assurances for those whose hope lies beyond the few short years that we live on this earth. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/130956435
[Step into the Story] More Than Words
July 22, 2015 15:36 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MBHere in Mark 11 we discover what Jesus really thought of prayer. There is real joy to be found in our prayer lives as followers of Jesus. Mark's Gospel teaches us that we can know God as our father in prayer and pray with authority just as Jesus did himself. You can also watch at: https://vimeo.com/129076030
