Loving God, leads us to love one another…and live like we mean it. Easy right?! Daniel unpacks how an apprenticeship approach might help us to do this: Are we ready to go – ready to be apprenticed? Or to draw someone alongside as an apprentice? Opening my life, home and family in real friendship, just like Jesus with his disciples.

God is looking for leaders who willingly give themselves, in faith, arising to what and how God calls them at the time – not looking at the situation or the surroundings because God is much bigger than that.

All of us get into trouble in during our life, get things wrong, do things we wish we hadn’t. We’re told that doing things our own way is a good thing, but others get hurt…we get hurt – there are consequences. We need rescuing. And that’s what Jesus did. He paid the ransom, with his own life, to set us free from living life our own way, and all the consequences of that. He rescues us from ourselves! The way he did that was by dying – being killed, but three days later, he rose to life again. And that means that when we admit that we’ve got it wrong, accept that Jesus paid the ransom for us, and ask him to come and take charge of our life, that we are set free. We discover that putting him in charge of our life brings meaning and purpose. To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

In this episode we look at chapter 18 in the book of Acts.

The second half of this chapter shows us how wherever the apostle Paul finds himself, he takes time to see and understand where people are at. He uses his understanding of the scriptures, along with the clarity of the impact of Jesus death and resurrection, to reach people. But he also uses words, culture and prevailing philosophies to show the religious leaders that their own world view is confused. The existence of God makes sense of commonly held values, such as the moral wrongness of killing others, or stealing. These moral values don’t make sense unless the moral conviction is beyond mere humanity. Who makes the rules, or sets those convictions in our hearts if it isn’t God? And how do we come aginst our prevailing culture in a way that brings people to belief? Paul was also distressed when he saw the city of idols. The word distressed is the same word used by God when he sees the Israelites worshipping the golden calf. It deeply pains him… He wants to free us from the futility of worshipping false idols, into worshipping Him, the only God.

This is the story of Hannah, a woman who couldn’t have children (a cultural and economic issue) and was bullied by her contemporaries as a result. She faces profound difficulty, but God hears her cry, and answers her honest distress. We can't always understand why God allows things to work out in a particular way. But God uses this time to shape something in Hannah that will affect a wider group of people 1. Hannah admits her feelings 2. Pours out her soul 3.

Chapter 16 includes the incredible account of Paul and Silas being thrown into jail, without trial and on the basis of a false ‘crowd’ conviction followed by a beating from the magistrates. Their response is to pray and sing praises to God whilst being held in the stocks! This leads to an earthquake, and they’re miraculously released from the stocks, but instead of walking away, they eat with the jailer and bring him and his whole household to salvation! There are many lessons for us in this passage; some key questions that God seems to be highlighting to us at the moment are: 1. What might make me susceptible to the pressure of a crowd? 2. What issues am I currently facing which are filling my mind, preventing me from ‘singing in the stocks’? 3. What’s my reason for ‘singing in the stocks’?

The message Hugh Osgood brought to us last weekend indicated that God is doing a new thing. Today, Daniel Jones explores the heart change that God is inviting each of us into that will align us with God’s intent. Using the first half of Acts 16, he explores two key points: 1) Salvation for those around us: we have to recognise that it’s only God who opens hearts to change – our role is to love others by acting in obedience to where and how God is working. We’re not the saviour! 2) Personal reflection: A recognition that our own ability to assess what we can and cannot do is so limited… obedience to following God’s direction is the way to go.

Hugh Osgood was with us on Sunday 9th February – a couple of weeks after the sudden and unexpected passing of John Singleton, father of LifeLine and brother to many. John passed away in the early hours of 28th January, surrounded by his family. We are giving God thanks for John’s life, well-lived, which flowed from a deep relationship with Jesus, enabling him to minister to others right up to the end, without seccumbing to the suffering he was experiencing as his health declined. The qualities he exemplified were a reflection of the love he had experienced through his relationship with his heavenly father. This was characterised over 50+ years in his desire to release the potential he saw in others, include those who were marginalised, and facilitate the building of supportive communities at home and across the world. He leaves behind a significant inheritance which the LifeLine family now have the joy of building on. Hugh’s word to us on this particular Sunday was a commissioning word for the next season: Elisha is on his death bed and King Jehoash visits him, using a phrase that Elisha used when Elijah was dying. When someone significant passes away, it’s tempting to become sentimental, as King Jehoash did. But this isn’t the time for sentimentality. It’s a time for gratitude for everything that God has done; a time to fling open the windows and let the wind of the spirit blow through us afresh. It’s a moment for opening up. A direction has been set, and there’s an arrow of the Lord’s deliverance that’s flying. The story in 2 Kings is about a moment of transfer of responsibility. The king was invited to pick up the arrows and then strike the ground. Elisha was clearly looking for a vigorous response, and when one wasn’t forthcoming prophesied the comparably tepid fate of the King’s future endeavours. This is a similar moment for the family of LifeLine – are we going to rise to the occasion with determination? To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

When we make mistakes, feel embarrassed by something, or feel like people are laughing at us, or judging us it can cause pain – making it feel easier to withdraw and ‘lick our wounds’. But this gives the enemy space to bring division – disunity among us. By pressing into God we can go beyond our human understanding, and discover how to operate in humility, out of God’s grace – allowing Him to make something really special and good in our relationships together – and this brings unity.

Romans 8:18-21 NIV I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. [19] For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. [20] For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope [21] that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. Creation lives under God’s curse and Satan’s control. The enemy lives to steal, kill and destroy. But when we’re saved, we live under God’s rule and reign – it’s a different law, that means we are able to know and live life in full abundance. The desert, or wilderness becomes the very place where we can meet God! In fact we can’t survive without Him! We either turn to Him… or die. Total dependence on Him leads to growth and the ability to thrive in a world which is decaying and under the enemy’s control. To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

Acts 15:1-11,22-29 NIV Depending on Christ for His grace… 1) Liberty – the gospel starts by removing burdens from us. We are unburdened and saved by grace! 2) Community – we’re equipped to live in unity with one another; those little irritations no longer have the power to divide us… 3) Purity – God has designed us for intimacy with Him, for dependence on Him. Peter tells us that our hearts are purified by grace.

Our culture dictates that pain and suffering are bad things – to be avoided and much of our time is spent trying to find things that make us feel good. The trouble is, it doesn’t work! God’s invitation is to turn to Him, and allow Him, the living God, to be our satisfaction. ‘We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God’. Are we willing to take a fresh look at this statement that from our cultural perspective we find so very unpalatable?

Life’s experiences can leave us feeling disappointed, and we end up looking for a way out – an experience that makes us feel better.

Goliath and the Philistines acted like they owned the joint! But they didn’t… God had other plans, which David fulfilled, because he’d spent years, on his own with the sheep, worshipping God, learning to hear his voice, and honing his craft with the slingshot. He’d learned how to defeat the enemy in private, so that when it came to a public showdown, he wasn’t intimidated. Are there areas of your life where the enemy is acting like he owns the joint? In your mental health? In conversations with friends? With your schoolwork?… Listen to how David prepared, how he stepped out with confidence when the time came, and the victory that God gave.

God has sent us into the world! The church in 46AD wasn’t so different to today’s church. It was full of lots of different kinds of people, joined together by God. They had previously been involved in all kinds of competing things – yet now, united by Jesus, they were worshipping together. As they worshipped, the prophetic word of God emerged, was weighed by the apostles, and developed into action – various people were sent by the church to take the good news of Jesus to other places.

Do we understand that we need a deeper relationship with God in order to receive a second touch from Him? Do I feel like a should be in a deeper relationship with God? A place where the power of God transforms my life – More than simply coming to a church meeting? Jeremiah 33:1-3 NIV While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: [2] “This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: [3] ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Mark 8:22-26 NIV They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. [23] He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” [24] He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” [25] Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. [26] Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don't even go into the village.” Sometimes the anointing may come in a way we don't like or want… To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

This chapter covers Peter’s imprisonment by Herod, and subsequent miraculous escape; his return to the believers (and their unbelief at who they were seeing); and Herod meets his end. In this talk we’re challenged to think about: Who or what we rely on Our unbelief (what do we struggle to believe?) Who we exalt (is it ourselves, our ideas, friends, family, God….?) God is challenging us to live in a greater degree of integrity and devotion. He's asking ‘do you trust me?'… This podcast is part of a series on the books of Acts which is supported by periodic ‘reflections’, which consider questions which have been submitted by members of LifeLine Church.

God has called us to rule and reign – but the temptation as shown right at the beginning of Genesis through Satan’s leading of Adam and Eve into ‘greater knowledge’, is to grasp for things for ourselves that God intends to bring to us at the point He knows is right. The story of the tower of Babel tells of the time that people united together – but instead of using their common language to bring glory to God, they wanted their own glory. God stepped in and scattered them. Pentecost brought a different lens. This time everyone was speaking different languages, but unity through the Holy Spirit brought understanding within God’s boundaries. What does this mean for us, as we seek to build community today? Putting the leading of the Holy Spirit at the centre of our decisions and actions is crucial – but this requires an intentionality of coming together as stakeholders under the rule and reign of God… To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

God sends encouragers – those who perceive what God is up to, get excited and get on board with what He’s doing. They are really key people in His Kingdom! The Greek word for encouragement is much richer and deeper than the English version. It encompasses two aspects: -To be close beside -To call, point or direct How are we encouragers? Do we tend towards an over-sympathetic response, which doesn’t necessarily point to way forwards – or do we tend to be those who ‘speak the truth’ from an arial point of view, with out getting alongside someone. Both are needed – together!

Acts 9 is where Saul has a revelation! Jesus saw his heart – saw that having studied God’s word, he wanted to do the right thing. There was a struggle between his heart and his mind – he was caught in religion. Jesus doesn’t focus on our mistakes – he focusses on our hearts.

In Acts 1 Jesus said that his disciples would be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and all the earth… we see the community going from house to house with gladness in their hearts. In this chapter Saul is introduced as a kind of puppet master – a nemesis to be reckoned with. He goes from house to house dragging men and women off to prison. Then Stephen's murder follows… Immediately following the birth of the early church there is significant persecution. And the disciples response to the persecution is to remember Jesus' words and continue to spread his message wherever they end up – in Jerusalem, Judaea and all the earth… it didn't happen how they imagined, but they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, and didn't become distracted by the accusations against them. This chapter also gives us the extraordinary story of the Holy Spirit directing Philip to one specific man, who he finds travelling on the road to Gaza. He brings the revelatory message that although the eunach had been rejected, he is now accepted through Christ!

Are we conduits or those who block the flow of God’s grace? Grace of God is His undeserved goodness to us. We get to show this grace to others Maybe I don't realise I need God’s grace Maybe I’d rather trust myself Maybe I feel I don't deserve it or haven’t earned it… Or maybe… I’m not willing to pass grace on because I judge that others aren’t deserving I feel overwhelmed – or defensive – or a failure God calls us, and pours his grace into us on a continuum, and if we allow it, we can be those who act as conduits, allowing His grace to flow out to those around us, as was always God’s intention.

In chapter 6 we saw that full of God’s grace and power he performed great signs and wonders. No-one could stand against the wisdom he spoke with, as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit – so false rumours are spread about him and these get him into serious trouble. He’s brought before the Sanhedrin (the courts of the day), to face some serious charges. In chapter 7, filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen doesn’t answer their accusations directly, but instead he gives a history lesson, showing: Why and how God has always met with people however He wants to – meeting Him isn’t restricted to the temple The jewish people haven’t ever been able to obey the law… And whenever God has sent a saviour, they have been rejected and persecuted… The Sanhedrin become furious…and Stephen is stoned to death This podcast is part of a series on the books of Acts which is supported by periodic ‘reflections’, which consider questions which have been submitted by members of LifeLine Church.

There was division – some of the widows weren’t getting enough food, so the apostles invited everyone to get involved and find a solution. We get to participate in a bigger vision – we’re not passive recipients…but there is a choice to make. And it’s a work of the Holy Spirit, and an expression of self-giving love for others.

Jamie draws out three key points from this passage in Acts:  Joined versus added… The chapter talks about people being added. We usually talk about joining a church as our choice. But what if there’s an alternative view – one where God chooses where He wants to add us to His body? Prison couldn’t hold them… No prison can hold God captive What made the apostles so heroic?

Acts 5: 1-11 The story of Ananais and Sapphira is one that shows us the seriousness of being real with God, and serving Him above all else. It’s tempting, with the limitations of our own wisdom and view, to look for approval and recognition from our peers, or people who we want to impress. So what’s the antidote? We find the answer in Psalm 139, 23-24: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. [24] See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” This podcast is part of a series on the books of Acts which is supported by periodic ‘reflections’, which consider questions which have been submitted by members of LifeLine Church.

This is the chapter where the rubber starts to hit the road, and we see how the Kingdom is advanced as Peter and John (unschooled, ordinary men) talk to people out of the overflow of having been filled with the Holy Spirit. They are very clear – the only way we can find salvation is through faith that Jesus died, bore the weight of humanities collective decision across the ages to rely on our own wisdom, rather than God’s, and then was raised back to life again by God. This single act in history has given each of us a way to restore our relationship with the living God, as we decide to stop living life according to our own wisdom and rules, and recognise that He is, was and always will be Lord – the God who SO loved us, that He came in human form as Jesus to show us what He’s like – and then paid the price of death in order to restore His original intention – relationship with us! As Peter says ‘“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 This podcast is part of a series on the books of Acts which is supported by periodic ‘reflections’, which consider questions which have been submitted by members of LifeLine Church.

God is in the business of releasing people! Just as in this passage, He released the man who had been lame since birth. It’s good to ask ourselves whether we’re trapped or crippled in some way. Do we expect anything different? Could we expect God to do a miracle and release us in some way? Later in the passage, after this amazing miracle, Peter goes into overdrive and tells the crowd exactly what they’re culpable for before God. They must have felt very uncomfortable and angry! It certainly wouldn’t have won Peter any popularity contest. He must have felt prompted by God to say what he did, and his focus was obedience to His father, rather than popularity. Bringing their attention to their guilt gave Peter the opportunity to show God’s way out too. We can plead ignorance or lack of intention in our actions, but we can still hurt others. God’s answer? Repent then! And turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord… Repentance is good news!

Learning to love one another can’t be programmed, or sustained through common interests. We can’t possibly love others out of our own resources!

LNP is an NGO birthed by LifeLine Church, Sierra Leone to equip individuals, families and communities for sustainable development. Prince shares some of the significant opposition that the work, and he personally has faced, reflecting that as we anchor ourselves into the reality that God knew and knows our beginning (even if we didn’t, or we don’t understand it), and He also knows our end (even when it appears otherwise during troublesome circumstances).

God planned for us to tell others how much He loves them, and how His actions through Jesus express this love. He’s a massive risk taker. There is no plan B. We get to be involved in making a huge difference in others’ lives. Never stop asking God for miracles – we need Him to show His power by confirming His word, His love, with signs and wonders.

Continuing our study of the book of Acts, today we look at Chapter 2, when the Apostles are filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

Chapter 1 in the books of Acts sees Jesus spending 40 days with his disciples before ascending to Heaven. It can be read as a continuation from Luke 24, and is key for Jesus giving instruction to his disciples on the next steps, with the primary and most important step being to wait for the impartation of the Holy Spirit.

There are times when His presence is more intense, or ‘real’ to us, but let’s be prepared to wait for Him – to stop, look and listen in the everyday, rather than saving this waiting and looking for a Sunday. Carrying the presence of God wherever we go is the most important thing. Nothing and no-one else touches our innermost being like He does… To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

‘I lean not on my own understanding' God has a plan right from the garden of Eden, through to Pentecost and beyond. We’re encouraged to wait in an alert fashion on God, actively looking for Him, pursuing Him – for example, Matthew 25 tells the story of the 10 virgins; we’re told that five are wise, because they are active in their preparation, whereas five don’t prepare and aren't ready… Or later in the same chapter of Matthew, the parable of the talents tells the story of a man who goes travelling and provides his three servants with some ‘talents’ (units of currency). The first two invest what they’re given, doubling it. Whereas the third just waits passively with the talent he’s been provided with, returning it to his master on his return. It doesn’t go well for him. Or later still the point is emphasised by the story of the sheep and the goats that God is going to separate from each other at the end of the world. The ‘sheep’ are separated out at the end of time because they took positive action – looking out for others while they were waiting for God's rule and reign to increase. The bible is full of such stories and it’s important to live in the knowledge that living in a Kingdom community is not to be seen as an escape pod from the world – but as an active, participatory place that seeks to bring the reign of the Kingdom of God where we live and work.

How we are to be… Acts 2:42-47. At pentecost the Holy Spirit came to people; as they were touched, people were transformed – and so was the community. They shared possessions and meals. They prayed with one another and no one was in need. This is our template for today, yet so often we become tainted by the context that we live in – our individualistic culture, self-centredness, and ‘rights’ pervade our thinking. What would it look like if we were touched by God, just as the early church was in the book of Acts? To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

A lot of people think they're in control, but when you’ve given your live to Jesus it becomes all about surrender. Our lives get turned upside down when we meet Jesus. Plans get changed. Jesus is called King for a reason. His plans and ways are not ours, because the King is focussed on building His Kingdom… Galatians 2:20 NIV ‘I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…' To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.

Jack’s talk from Sunday 21st April unpacked. This podcast was originally designed to be watched. If you’d prefer to do so, please head to our YouTube channel @LifeLineChurchDagenham. The episode is designed to prompt the listener to think through questions including: Do you want to experience God’s transforming and empowering love afresh today? “Love helps us endure mistreatment and difficult circumstances. Are you facing a mistreatment or difficult circumstances where you need the empowering, enduring love of God?” “We might be tempted to withdraw from such a world – but love keeps us in the harvest field. How might an injection of God's love empower you to live in such chaos? “the Lord said, “the devil has held the people long enough and He is intent on setting us free” Ask the Holy Spirit if there is a lie He wants to set us free from right now” “How will you “put on God's love”? What do you need to let go of? What do you need to embrace? To stay up to date with podcasts from LifeLine Church, please subscribe.
