The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood... John 1:14 - The Message
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said!" - Matthew 28:5-6
Give to Caesar what is Caesa'rs, and to God what is God's. Everything else is not worthless it is just worth less than what is in God's image.
“I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.” - Psalm 69
In a time where offering our thoughts and prayers is seen as an excuse for inaction. What if we believed that it is the most powerful thing that we can do?
The mystery of God is revealed! Christ in you and you in Christ. But how does that work? Well, Jesus demonstrates how to live the mystery in real life through the Cross. This is a prayerful work that disarms the 'powers' to give us access to a greater power - Love.
Colossians was written in the context of the growing emperor cult of the Roman Empire. This Empire was capturing not only the people's lives but their imaginations as well. Limiting their future dreaming of an alternative reality. Although thousands of years separate us from Ancient Rome, we still know all about Empire. We struggle with global economics and corporate interests that commodify people for profit. How does Colossians help us live our faith in Jesus today? Well, it might be the best book in the Bible to subvert the empire that tries to colonize our imaginations. Jesus is THE revelation that ALLOWS US to enter and live an ALTERNATIVE REALITY to Empire - a NEW way to live.
Jesus' movement invites us to confront fatalism, moving instead to sympathy, empathy and compassion that acts towards transformation. Joining Jesus will empower us to do the same. We are a resurrection people.
Jesus movements have a way of moving us. Jesus moves slowly, which is counter-cultural to what we see as normal or efficient. Following Jesus slows us down, puts us in strange company and will change our lives forever.
This Sunday, we'll hear from a few people on how the Christmas challenge has given them fresh perspectives and opportunities to serve others this month. We'll also celebrate the kingdom coming and what that means for the new year.
This Sunday our church rests. Listen to Bette Dickenson, the artist in residence at Infinitum as she walks us through Visio Divina.
In the most impactful event in history, the birth of Christ is surrounded by God's generous invitation to EVERYONE. This is clearer than ever in the way God goes out of His way to get in the way of the Shepherds, in order to invite them to Jesus' birth.
We're captivated by stories of the "suddenly" of the scriptures. We often think of God’s intervention as immediate and instant, but we forget the longer work of preparation. How can our faithfulness to what God asks us to do, that seems ordinary, be a place of Divine connection?
The Christmas Challenge preaching series is a deeper look into Luke’s narrative of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Each message is accompanied by an artwork that features something from the passage for that week painted by Bette Dickinson.
Loving your enemies is one of the most beautiful commandments of Jesus, but it is also really hard.
