Forty thousand are expected from Metallica fans alone, with the rock band set to perform at Eden Park. Meanwhile, nearly 3,800 international delegates are gathering at Aotea Centre for New Zealand's largest ever academic conference, celebrating Indigenous education over five days. Auckland Unlimited Destination Director Annie Dundas told Mike Hosking the city will probably average 80-85% occupancy over the summer. She says these nice big event spikes lift them up for certain parts of the year, giving the accommodation and hospitality sectors a boost.

In last week's sermon, we talked about the importance of regular repentance. This week, we talk about the importance of forgiving others. Neither repentance nor forgiveness are easy to do. Both are contrary to our natural self-protective instincts. But both acts are imperitive to living the free and fruitful life that God desires for us. Jesus perfectly modelled forgiveness in every aspect of His earthly walk with us and ultimately in His death upon the cross. Because we are called to model ourselves to look more like Jesus, we must always be striving to move towards forgiveness in our own lives. It's not easy. It's going to hurt. And it comes with a lot of questions. But we can lean on the Lord and seek Him in prayer to guide us as we seek reconciliation in our broken relationships. God knows our hearts and our motives and as we honestly confess our struggles, He hears us. He will not leave us alone in these battles to repair what has been damaged.

The first commandment in the Bible is "you shall have no other gods before me." Which sounds like it shouldn't be a big deal, especially to our modern ears. But if you stop to think about it, what is God saying here? He's saying, don't put anything or anyone before me. This can look different in each of our own lives, but the fact is, we all do it. For example, you could be someone who prioritizes the comfort of your couch instead of meeting with your church community. It could mean you prioritize control and find yourself overworking so you can control your financial future instead of trusting the God will provide for you. You could find yourself obsessively checking your social feeds to find your worth in pixelated hearts or a thumbs up because you prioritize approval of others. Over God's approval of you. Every single human being is made to worship. The problem is, we're giving the wrong 'gods' the wrong attention instead of giving it to the only God that is worthy of it. What are you worshipping? What do you deem worth-y?
