THE LOST ART OF FRIENDSHIP pt1We are created for friendship. So, why do we find it so hard? There is a battle on three sides that is challenging your deepest relationships
Our encounters with God not only change our lives but echo throughout them and transform the lives of those around us.
We were made for adventure. Our best life is found on the other side of adventure. As we follow God, we discover purpose, friendship and impact.
There is power in a moment to change your life. How are you building moments that really matter?
One of the most incredible claims of Christianity is that you can actually know God. Moses was said to have spoken to God as a friend. How could we know God this way and what would that kind of life look like?
What is the source of our confidence? How do we grow in boldness to see God move in extraordinary ways?
What is with all the rules in the Bible? Do we really need to follow them all and what happens if we break some?
We often expect faith to be victory followed by more victory. However, the reality is that God leads us into the battle.
When you are faced with un unmovable obstacle and there is no way forward, except to expect a miracle.
The story of the liberation of Israel from Pharaoh's hands was so significant that they reenact it every year by sharing four cups. However, the fifth cup is never drunk.
So many people are walking wounded. How do we heal from the pain of trauma?
What has God placed in your hand and how will you use it?
Visiting speaker Israel Olofinjana, Director of the One People Commission, shared on following God into our destiny and what it means to pick up our calling.
There are times in life that God calls us to stand out. The Bible says that we are like strangers in a foreign land, we are people of this world but we are not from here. We are from Heaven, we are on a journey, we are passing through. We are not meant to be assimilated into the culture. Standing out is hard but it matters!
What is the biggest challenge in your life, right now? You might say that it is money or a relationship. However, the bible says that the greatest battles we face are usually the internal ones. It is our civil war that is the greatest challenge.
Whatever the pain of your story, hope through Jesus means that it is never the end. Join us as we talk about how we navigate pain, suffering and disappointment.
At the beginning of Revelation we get a startling vision of Jesus and we discover what really matters to him. Join us as we start our new series working through the letters to the churches in Revelation 2.
What is your biggest question of faith? Today we are discussing whether or not evolution and the Big Bang disprove Christianity. Let us know your thoughts below.
God has great plans for you. However, he doesnt send you forwards on your own. He has surrounded you with heavenly and earthly support.
Jesus loves you, more than you could imagine. However, this love does not mean that you can live however you want. It is because he loves you that he leads you to limitations, designed to bring you true freedom.
We live in a broken world where things don't do how we want or at the pace that we would like. Jesus' love shows us the value of waiting, weeping and wonder.
In a world where everyone is crying out for attention, Jesus leans in and listens. Learning to listen may well be one of the most powerful and life changing habits that we can learn.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. However, the word 'love' is used in so many different ways. How do we know what love is and how do we love like Jesus?
Money is one of the clearest mirrors for our hearts. It drives us, worries us, leads us to some of our greatest moments of altruism and selfishness. We need to talk about money.
There are things in life that are poison. How do we avoid things that have no nutritional value to our souls?
We often think about New Years resolutions in January. However, what if, instead, we set the frame that we would approach the year through instead?
One of the most important things for us is to have a proper perspective of the face of Jesus. If you see the face of Jesus and his perspective towards you, you will leave transformed.
What does it look like for us to step out and share your faith in practical, life changing ways? In our culture and time, what would this look like?
What does the Bible REALLY say about what happens after I die? Forget what your nan told you. Forget what you thought you knew. Lets read the Bible and see what it has to say about heaven, hell and where this is all heading.
Napoleon said he was more powerful than any emperor. Van Gough described an artist better than every artist. Ghandi admired him as the penultimate example of nonviolence. Martin Luther King spoke of an extremist for love, truth and goodness. Einstein argued that he was not a myth but a real person. History is overflowing with opinions and arguments about Jesus. Christians make this audacious claim that he was fully God and fully man. How is that possible? Who do you think he was? Good or God?
“I have given them the glory that you gave me... so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 17:22 Jesus says that it is the unity of the church that will lead to a revelation of God's love to the world. Unity and mission are tied.
"I consider Western Christianity in its practical working a negation of Christ's Christianity." - Mahatma Gandhi Is he right? Somewhere inside of every single one of us, we long for a place where we are loved and can love others. Jesus describes a community whose love is so authentic and so visible that people will look at it from the outside and recognise the truth of Jesus.
What do you do when you have not got to where you want to and feel like you are stuck in the middle?
Are you struggling with anxiety? God wants to set you free from worry.
We all walk around with shame. However, God wants to set you free from the wall of shame.
Easter sets the trajectory of your faith. What do the different ways in which we interpret the ending of the story do to direct your life?
