Do What It Says

Did you look in the mirror this morning? Do you remember what you saw? Strange question huh? James writes: “Anyone who listens to word but does not do what is says, is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” In church [...]

A Man Just Like Us

There is this guy called Elijah. There is some pretty amazing stuff that God used him for, but some of my favourites are when he challenged the prophets of Baal to a dual and called down fire from heaven to burn up the water-soaked alter and offerings that they had made. He followed that up [...]

What Do We Normalise?

As a follower of Jesus living in Western society, it is very easy to forget some of the things that we are called to do. Surrounded by consumerism, individualism, materialism, rationalism and all those other “isms” we are so easily distracted to follow the world and not Jesus. I think one of the reasons this [...]

Who Is Following You?

Who Is Following You?

Jesus said “follow me…” to his first disciples – laying down an invitation that said, look at the way I live, look at the things I prioritise, look at the things I give up, look at the people I love… It’s a challenge that today we are still trying to figure out – what does [...]

Do we really love?

We are on a journey of learning how to Love God and Love People and discovering what that really looks like in our community. When Paul is writing to the Roman church he says not to pretend that we love others, but to really love them.  Now this sounds pretty obvious, but when I really [...]

Love One Another

We have been exploring what it means to Love God and one of the great things that happens, is that as you love God more – you can’t help but Love People more. Jesus said that people will know we are His followers by our love for each other. It makes sense – as He [...]

The Joy Box

Money – what comes to mind when you hear that word? God supplies, so that we are enlarged, so that we are generous, so that God is thanked… and then God supplies… That is my version of  Paul says when he is writing to the Corinthian church about money. As a community we realise that [...]

What does it mean to Love God?

Jesus said the greatest commandment was to “Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” – but what does it really mean to Love God? Is it about going to church every Sunday? Is it about reading your bible regularly? Is it [...]
