Merry Band of Failures King's Cross Church

There were few more painful memories as a child than knowing I had failed my parents' expectations. Whether the 'test' was literal or a practical life lesson I failed to apply, I remember that horrible feeling in my stomach as the realization washed over me. This week we come to the most critical failure of Jesus' disciples in the Gospel of Mark. It's an entire chapter of failure. And yet somehow this becomes good news? How does Jesus actively transform the failures of his followers into their joy? Let's talk about this “Merry Band of Failures” (selected verses from Mark 14).
