More On The Marketplace

Last week we started looking at our Marketplace Mission. We wanted to follow that up by looking at Jesus, the early church and what the market place mission looked like for them and what we can learn from that. Most people are OK seeing Jesus as a teacher or prophet who spent a lot of [...]

Marketplace Mission

The marketplace is the combination of business government, education, the arts and sport that makes up our society. We all have some part to play in the marketplace and we all spend more time in the marketplace than in church. So how do we Be The Church in the marketplace…? We think part of church [...]

A Servant Heart

Jesus did not call us to serve… That’s probably caught your attention but let’s explain what we mean. In Matt 25 we read that Jesus said “I have come not to be served but to serve others”. It’s a radical idea that when the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Creator of the [...]

Do What It Says

So 2012 has begun and while there are so many things we could focus on to start the year off, we thought a good place would be to re-orient our lives to “do what it says…” James writes: “Anyone who listens to word but does not do what is says, is like a man who [...]

Remembering that God… is still with us. When Jesus was born he was called Immanuel meaning “God With Us” – the fulfilment [...]

Fruit

Most of us have medical checkups, but when did you last have a spiritual check-up?  When you did you last look at the “fruit” in your life as an outward expression of your inward condition – to show you who or what is in control of your life? Jesus talked a lot about the concept [...]

Power

When Jesus was baptised He was filled with the Spirit of God. Throughout His time on earth, filled with the Holy Spirit, He healed the sick, cast out demons and spoke to people about the Kingdom of God. When Jesus declared himself as the Son of God He said ”the Spirit of God is upon me, [...]

Online Love

This week we just want to pose a question… How do you love people online? As a church we are on a journey learning what it means to love God and love other people – but in a world that is communicating more and more online – how do we love God and love others [...]
