Jesus says “Follow me”. John says “Follow the lamb wherever he goes” (Rev 14:4). Following is crucial in the Christian life. When Jesus calls us, we follow.

Baptism - Death is Defeated - Jon Brown (Sidcup) by New Community Church

Preparing for multiplication in the future requires steps of faith in the present; this sermon explores the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, looking at steps of faith we need to take now in order to benefit in the future.

Exploring what it means to belong to this local church; how faith in the church leads to action, particularly in this local church; what being a disciple, family member, and missionary looks like here, with a specific call to action.

The church is central to God's plans and purposes in the earth. This sermon paints a big picture vision of God's glorious church and encourages us to put our faith in God's plan for the church into action.

Faith is central to the Christian life, but faith is not passive; it is belief in action. This sermon explores the plans and purposes of God in terms of his glory and mission on earth, and how the sovereignty of God and our responsibility plays out in our individual and corporate life together, particularly in terms of what God has called us to.

Sometimes the fur flies at weddings, and things can certainly get catty between landlords and tenants but, as we explore in this week's podcast, a woman has taken things to a whole new level in an effort to get round restrictions on pets. This story about the woman who married her cat started in Sidcup, just outside London, and has gone around the world and back again. But Jimmy did some digging and discovered that on just about every occasion, it has been misreported. It's not the cat-lady's fault - people just made assumptions (as they do). So, listen in for the truth behind reports that this was to avoid eviction for having a pet where one wasn't allowed. There's more to this than meets the (cat's) eye, including the revelation that Debora Hodge isn't the first cat lover to marry her pet. Then there's the certifier of the building next to Mascot Towers who was discovered to have been in China when he was supposedly approving the building works. We ask why Building Commissioner David Chandler didn't want journalists at a developers' seminar he addressed recently. We examine why councillors and council officials in a Sydney Local Government Area now have to register every meeting they have with developers. (We use the word “record” in the podcast but we mean make a written record, not an audio recording.) And we speculate on what interest rate rises and political posturing is likely to do to apartment prices and rental availability. That's all in this week's Flat Chat Wrap … and here's a video of the cat lady, as a little bonus. https://youtu.be/8YEYJy_nIFI TRANSCRIPT IN FULL Jimmy  00:00 Every week we sit down to do this podcast, and we start off thinking we don't have anything to talk about. By the time we are sat down, we're thinking "we don't have enough time, to talk about everything." This week, we have a woman who married her cat, so that she could stay in her rented accommodation. Although, there's more to that than it sounds. We've got the certifier... Sue  00:26 Did the cat own the apartment or something? Jimmy  00:28  No. Sue  00:29 Pets weren't allowed in the apartment; that's why she married her pet? Jimmy  00:32  Not even that. Sue  00:32 Oh, okay. I'll be interested to hear about that! Jimmy  00:35 And, there's a certifier who's been struck off, for life. We've got all sorts of other things with developers, including David Chandler... Big news about David Chandler; the Building Commissioner and what the various parties are promising to do about housing. The Greens have got some pretty exciting ideas. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Sue  01:21 So, what's this about the woman marrying her cat? Jimmy  01:23 Oh, this is a story that's bouncing around social media at the moment. Basically, the story is that Deborah Hodge from Sidcup in southeast London, has married her cat India, to avoid... Well, according to the stories, it's to avoid being evicted from her apartment and then you dig into the story and you discover that she is not in danger of being evicted because she has a cat, she's in danger of being evicted, because she hasn't paid her rent. Sue  01:54 Oh! So why has she married her cat? Jimmy  01:57 To make it clear to prospective landlords, that she and the cat come as a unit. Twice in the past she has "had to give up her beloved pets, because landlords didn't allow pets in the rented property." Okay, I know exactly what you're thinking; you're thinking well, find another property that does allow pets. Two Huskies were the first ones that she had to give up and another cat, which apparently broke her heart. So Deborah; poor Deborah, she's (dare I use the word 'failed'?), no longer employed as a 'life coach.' Sue  02:37

A case of the Omicron variant of coronavirus has been confirmed at a school in Kent - believed to be the first case in the county. Someone at Northfleet Technology College near Gravesend tested positive early last week and has now been told they have the new strain - hear a statement released by the school. Meantime, another school in Kent is coming in for criticism after students were removed from lessons and given detentions for wearing face masks in class. Also in today's podcast, there are calls for the park and ride service in Canterbury to be scrapped. The council's been making a loss from it as passenger numbers continue to fall short of pre-pandemic levels - hear from Joseph Wright who's written the story. The Conservatives have held onto their seat in the Old Bexley and Sidcup by-election. There was a low voter turnout and a 10 percent swing to Labour, who came second. The KentOnline Podcast has been told there's been a huge increase in the number of child abuse image offences recorded by police in Kent over the past five years. New data shows they've dealt with 5-thousand-187 cases in the county since 2016 - with the biggest rise during the pandemic. The NSPCC have spoken out. And, Europe's largest truck stop has opened in Ashford today.

Holding the Old Bexley and Sidcup seat - even with a reduced majority - is a good result for the Conservatives, says Rob Ford, Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester. In this by-election special, Ford tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker that a comfortable win suggests the party would not face any danger in a general election. Plus Joey Jones, Senior Counsel for Corporate Affairs at Grayling, says none of the parties should be patting themselves on the back too much. He says that while the issue of sleaze is not a determining factor on the doorstep at the moment, it does lay bare divisions within the Conservatives.

The by-election last night was a result for the Tories. However, their majority for this seat fell dramatically. Labour tried to badge it as good news for them, claiming that they are 'back in business'. But the poor voter turnout was more likely the reason for the fall in Tory votes rather than a swing in Labour's direction. With this win, will the Conservatives move on from the difficult month they've had? Perhaps not with more scandals appearing. Tory peer, Michelle Mone has just been accused of racism after some leaked WhatsApp messages show that she told a man of Indian heritage that he was a ‘waste of a man's white skin'. Also on the podcast, the report on the 2020 Euros has concluded that there was ‘collective failure' in the planning of the match which saw 2000 people break into the stadium illegally. ‘I think this touches again on how well-led the Metropolitan police is' - James Forsyth Can Cressida Dick cling onto her job this time?

On today's episode I talk to comedian Josie Long. Josie's originally from Sidcup, but grew up in Orpington, London. She began stand-up when she was 14, and since then has created or been part of an innumerable amount of cool projects. This includes numerous performances at the Edinburgh Fringe - where she was nominated for "Best Show" scads of times and won "Best Newcomer" in 2006 - as well as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs and more. Josie wrote for the awesome Channel 4 teen dramedy Skins, she's appeared on a number of panel shows like 8 out of 10 Cats, and her 2009 BBC Radio series All of the Planet's Wonders is absolutely wonderful, as is her literary podcast Book Shambles, which she co-hosts with The Infinite Monkey Cage's Robin Ince.
