Things are a-changin'
We are currently completing a
major and exciting upgrade to the DCF web site. This
means that there is a lot of new and updated content, a new
design and some useful changes in the background that mean
there will be new features such as live-streaming of our
Sunday morning and Tuesday evening Bible studies, the chance
to watch again online, or download video via podcast.
We have had
some of these changes ready since April 2011, and so we
wanted to get them online as soon as possible. Because
of this there are some pages - such as this one - that are
still being updated/created. We're sorry for any
inconvenience - however we are confident the changes are
worth the wait.
If you cannot access a part of
the web site that you really need, or have any ideas of what
you would like to see - simply send an email to
info@dcf-online.co.uk.
We check email daily, although it may take a couple of days
for a response.
For HIS glory!

Mark
The gospel of Mark (written by John Mark), is in essence the
gospel of Peter, Mark acting as his amanuensis (secretary).
Knowing how impulsive Peter was, this helps us to see why
Mark gives such a fast paced narrative (17x Immediately /
19x Straightway / ‘And’ most frequent word, over 1300x ).
It is believed that Mark wrote in Rome, evidently for a
Roman audience, who lived a fast paced life. Hence this is a
gospel of action and accomplishment. The style of Mark is
brief and blunt, pertinent and pithy, short and sweet. But
although Mark is the shortest of the four gospels, it would
actually be longer than the gospel of Matthew if you removed
the discourses Matthew records.
Few Old Testament Scriptures are quoted and Jewish customs
are explained, which give additional proof that it was
written for foreigners.
All the other gospel writers give us a genealogy at the
start of their gospels, Mark does not, because a servant
doesn’t need a genealogy, he needs references. A servant
needs to do the job.
Mark’s audience wanted to know very simply: Is Jesus able
to do the job? Mark answers that question with an
emphatic yes!
