Today’s gospel reading invites us to reflect on that fact that when we don’t think much on the corrupting power of sin and the destructive power of death, we won’t make much of the cross and resurrection of Jesus. Conversely if we only see the beauty, by "amusing ourselves to death", we become distracted from the realities of sin and brokenness in …

In today's Chapel message Dr John Frederick unpacks Mark 6:14-29 which details the execution of John the Baptist by King Herod.
