Jesus said...
“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.”
“The one who believes in me will live, even though he dies.”
“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus was born in Israel about 2000 years ago. He began to teach and heal and do signs and wonders when he was around 30 years old. And he made some big claims about himself!
Back then there were no TV cameras but some of the eye witnesses who saw his life and death and resurrection wrote about him or gave their testimony to researchers who wrote everything down.
The result was a set of four books called Gospels. Gospel means 'Good News!' These Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible. They are often referred to as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, based on who wrote them. Reading them will help you discover Jesus for yourself.
You can read or listen to the whole of Mark online. It takes about 2 hours.
Using the player below you can listen to a set of talks given recently at St Brigid's taking you through all 16 chapters of Mark.
Listening to these will help you understand who Jesus claimed to be and how he can change lives today. If you only have time for a few, try episodes 2, 6, 7, 16 and 23.
The best place to be if you want to explore life, faith, meaning and Jesus is church. Come to St Brigid's and you will meet a loving community of people who know Jesus and some people who aren't sure or are still exploring. There's space for everyone, whoever you are, whatever you're like, whatever you've been through or done wrong. Joining us will mean you experience the community Jesus died to create and hear more about him.
