An American who sat down on a sunbed claimed by a Polish towel quickly discovered he was touching something sacred. That scene opens a reflection on Jesus stepping into a world of settled rules and challenging fasting and the Sabbath, the two things that mattered most to his listeners (Mark 2 and 3). The sermon asks what happens in us when someone questions convictions we have never questioned ourselves. Listen and consider which of your certainties Jesus might want to look at today.

Or was He who He claimed to be? Who was He? In search of the answer to this question, we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, because we know that so much depends on this answer.
