Chris Turner | Mark 3:31-35
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting round him, and they told him, 'Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.'
'Who are my mother and my brothers?' he asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle round him and said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.'
At first sight, says Chris, Jesus' treatment of his physical family seems rather harsh. We know that family life brings about tension and conflicting priorities, so how did Jesus handle this? Chris has a message of hope for everyone who feels misunderstood by their own family.

Why will God not answer my question?
Is God for me or against me?
Among the nations
Do we really long for God?
Who that is innocent has ever perished?
Seeing things rightly
Responding with everything
Is there hope after death?
The coming King
Go, sell everything
Come like a child
Is there hope in a pandemic?
Go, I am sending you
