Pastor Mike finishes the series "Bringing God to the Centre".King David brings the Ark into Jerusalem and the nation has a party. However one person looks down on the procession, with judgement and distain. When we see God moving in people's lives or ministries- How do we react?

Pastor Mike preaches on the complications of bringing God to the centre. King David wanted to bring the ark to the centre of the city, but instead there were complications. Bringing God to the centre doesn't mean the perfect life with no problems.

Title: Zechariah
Key Verse – Luke 1:5-25, 57-66
Pastor Mark teaches us about Zechariah, the Jewish priest who was the father of John the Baptist.
Key Points; • Zechariah and his wife were very old and had no children but had prayed for a child earlier • Whilst Zechariah was in the temple, he was promised a child by Gabriel the angel • Zechariah couldn’t believe what he was hearing and was struck so he couldn’t speak • Zechariah was told his son would turn many Israelites to love the Lord
Reflection; • Pray in faith • God does hear all our prayers but that does not always mean a yes when we ask • When something unexpected happens o ask is this God? o Is God trying to intervene? o Is he answering a prayer when the timing is right? • When you sense the presence of God, draw close to him and listen to his voice, he may be preparing you for an even greater calling or blessing than your prayer

How people responded to Jesus would determine their destiny. • Jesus challenges us • We can’t stay the same • His words challenge us, and they should • Pride kills healthy human interactions • Pride will trigger our ability to receive feedback • Pride demands affirmation and will not take correction • Pride would rather win an argument than keep a friend • God draws near to the humble • Jesus is who we worship • Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
Pray for; • Courage if challenged • Humility if pride is keeping us separated from a relationship with God • The ability to hear from God. Draw near to him by reading your Bible and asking him to reveal himself through his Word.

Karen and Mark Wilson share from 37 years of experience in a marriage and expand their experience and the messages in Ephesians 5:21-33.
After receiving the gift of the Good News of the Gospel…. How then should we live a worthy life?
The Gospel story should reshape our own story and how we should live - in our homes - in our workplace - in our relationships
In Ancient time - there was a household code of conduct between; - husband and wife - parents and children - slaves and master
In the ancient world the man was the boss and in that context slaves, wives and children were often mis-treated as objects.
Jesus enters the world and changes the context. He reminds us we are all created in the image of God and there should be inherent dignity in the way all humans are treated.
Jesus came in grace and spoke the truth and broke the structures of power by serving.
Practical applications for us; Use the Cross as a reminder symbol of the power of submission to create lives of victory and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
- Mutual Submission. Be willing submit yourself to each other.
- Understanding Headship as servanthood. Giving your own life for the good of the other. Use Jesus as the prime example. Strength in posturing yourself to serve.
- Serving one another. Less selfish and less independent.
- God’s grace is needed. Seek his Spirit through prayer, wisdom and grace
- Marriage can be great. Marriage can be the best fertile ground to experience God’s grace. Unwavering commitment to faithfulness. Carve out time for fun Listening to one another Do great things together Surround yourself with people with great marriages
Walk as there are 3 in your marriage, your partner, your self and Jesus.

Series: The Ephesus Church Key Verses: Ephesians 4: 17-32
Andrew unpacks this part of Paul's letter to the Ephesian church on the practical aspects of what being a member of the Church body looks like for us today.

Pastor Mark speaks on Ephesians 4:1-16
Series: The Ephesus Church Key Verses: Ephesians 4: 1-16
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding...."
Pastor Mark unpacks the notion we can't have anything good until we suffer first.
Key points; - By Grace, God has already blessed us. We didn't have to do anything. - You are a part of the Body of Christ. This is a Circle of Believers with Gifts that is the Church - People will come and go, but the Church remains. One Body, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism - God gave us all gifts to contribute as part of a collective and bless the Church (the family of believers)
Questions to ponder: - How then should we live as part of the Church - How should we balance the scales of Christian living - What do you do as part of the Church? - Do you do anything? Do you serve?
Unless you use the gifting of God as part of the Church, you are denying the blessing God gave to bless the Church.
"The Church is not a product to be consumed. It's a movement to be joined!"
