The role of women in the church has unfortunately become one of controversy in some places. Guest speaker Tim Hanna takes us through how we engage with Scripture about this topic and where the weight of Scripture leads us. And why it need not be divisive, but rather enhancing for the church. Tim has spent 30 years in local church ministry in Australia, leading local churches in a number of states as well as lecturing at Theological College and in the church leadership space with Willow Creek Australia. He also spent ten years as CEO of Compassion Australia. Since then Tim has been involved in coaching and consulting and is currently the Chairman of Council, of Churches of Christ Queensland. His own experience and opportunities have given him a passion to help leaders flourish in their own leadership roles. Tim is married to Chris and they have nine children, 26 grandchildren and he loves those sometimes crazy, family times. He is also a sports tragic, enjoying most sports, and doesn't mind a good coffee.If you enjoyed this sermon please consider subscribing.CONNECT WITH US Instagram: www.instagram.com/humeridgechurch Facebook: www.facebook.com/humeridgechurch YouTube: www.youtube.com/humeridgechurchHave you made a decision to follow Jesus?

Thaipusam attracted an estimated two million visitors to Batu Caves this year (2024) making it the largest religious gathering in Malaysia, a remarkable turnout considering how Tamil observants make up less than 6% of the predominantly Muslim population. Amidst the throng are Hindu devotees carrying the kavadi (or burden) - a structure made of wood and metal, decorated with flowers and peacock feathers - symbolising a portable altar of worship. Some kavadi can weigh up to 30 kg. To bear this burden is to take upon oneself a spiritual debt and it is not uncommon for devotees to pierce themselves in the tongue, cheek and skin. It is this experience of pain - this bearing up of a physical burden - that is offered up to their deity, Lord Murugan, to elicit a response to their prayers for spiritual intervention, healing and assistance.Extract from Christian Theology (Interfaith) Essay at St Paul's Theological College, Kuala Lumpur

Emmanuel Theological College is the fruit of an exciting partnership between the Bishops of the six Church of England Dioceses in North West England: Blackburn, Carlisle, Chester, Liverpool, Manchester, and Sodor and Man. Together they developed a vision for integrated ministerial formation that would equip the whole people of God for the whole mission of God across our region today, by providing outstanding formation for lay and ordained ministry both full-time and part-time. There are over 7.3 million people in the North West reflecting a huge breadth of socio-economic, cultural, ethnic, and class diversities across a wide variety of contexts – from extremely rural to densely populated urban. Such diversity brings with it an inviting combination of challenge and opportunity. For the Church to step towards these with confidence and missional creativity and to proclaim the gospel afresh in each generation, it needs leaders who are theologically capable; skilled in ministry and priestcraft and able to pioneer new forms of contextual engagement; and who are well formed in the kinds of spiritual habits that will nourish and sustain them for a life-time. To turn this vision into reality, the Bishops sought to combine the many strengths of the existing Colleges in the region – All Saints' Centre for Mission and Ministry, Cumbria Christian Learning, and St Mellitus College North West – into a single institution that could flex to the needs of the context, offering a theological powerhouse of missional resource. Plans for Emmanuel were announced in Summer 2020. Emmanuel's culture and ethos are rooted in charity and generosity in partnership across liturgical traditions, focusing not on our differences but on our common bonds in Jesus Christ. With that in mind, our goal is to form Christ-centred, hope-filled, and mission-orientated lay-leaders, deacons, and priests.

Godliness vs Effectiveness - the Both/And Ministry dilemma Godliness vs EffectivenessTheology vs Pragmatics People centered vs Organisationally mindedLeading from the front vs Serving others Courage to take a stand vs Quick to submitOthers know I am one of them vs I am set apart to leadI lead patiently vs I lead with a sense of urgency Most Christians at some point do start to wonder if they are the real deal.  What God asks of us is so far reaching, so all encompassing, that when we come up short, we start to ask ourselves  “Am I an imposter?” “Should I really be a leader?” and perhaps/Am even a Christian at all?'Gary Millar is the Principal of Queensland's Theological College and author of a new book ‘Both/And Ministry.'Reach Australia National ConferenceReach Australia's National Conference is happening from 19 to 22 May 2025 on the Central Coast of NSW.

What communities are you part of? What does being involved in community mean for your life? Those are two of the core questions in this episode of Sunday Sanctuary. Whether we see ourselves as being community members or not, the different groups we are part of influence how we live our lives. Community connections lead to both of the interviews for this episode. First up, Petra sat down to talk with Dr Hirini Kaa, principal of Tāmaki Makaurau's St John's Theological College. Dr Kaa shared his views on what community means to him as a Māori man and how mana plays a role. Petra's second conversation is with Jenny Duckworth, someone who has lived in several communities all with a very intentional focus on serving their neighbours. This episode also sees Producer Sam head back to Cornwall Park here in Auckland to ask unsuspecting strangers about their stories of community. He also tries to bring a theme song to the episode, with mixed success..... Haere mai! Music: - Come Together by The Beatles - Interlude by Julie Byrne (played during contemplative practice)- Alegria by Elia y Elizabeth (played during community life)- Everyday People by Sly and the Family Stone- Oh My God by Kevin Morby (played at the end of Jenny's interview)- Sun Rays Like Stilts by Tommy Guerrero (played during the benediction)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I Corinthians 10:9: Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Psalm 78:19: Yea, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

The Crucifixion was a horrible and shameful death in the time of Christ. Yet He died for all mankind. Despite our belief concerning God and His Son Jesus Christ, no one should make a mockery of this epic historical time in humanity. Surely indeed, God will respond to this situation in due time. God loves everyone. The moment a sinner accepts Christ, he receives a pardon for all his or her sins. To God Be The Glory. Amen! Faith Restoration Ministries International.

Lisa Lamb is professor of preaching and theology at St. Paul's Theological College and the author of Resonate: How to Preach for Deep Connection.Sometimes I wonder how effective sermons are.  As a receiver of sermons, I probably don't remember 99% of the sermons I've heard. At the same time, some sermons I've heard have been life-changing for me. The question for us preachers is: How do we preach sermons that connect?  Sermons that make an impact?  Sermons that truly resonate?Lisa Lamb helps us answer these questions.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Lisa Lamb is professor of preaching and theology at St. Paul's Theological College and other schools in Malaysia and India, and the author of Resonate: How to Preach for Deep Connection.Lisa shares what she loves about preaching.The preaching framework is grounded in verbs.  What kinds of verbs are being used in the sermon and in which person are they being spoken?Preaching in the first person singular gives the congregation a sense who the preacher is and where the preacher is coming from.Second person singular speech is powerful speech.  It blesses and exhorts.Third person singular is the proclaimer.  Lisa Lamb says that speaking in the third person is where we declare God's goodness.Third person plural says, “These things are true.”Lisa Lamb explains how the past, present, and future tenses impact a sermon.We don't need to hit all these aspects in every sermon.  But Lisa Lamb suggests looking back over several months to see if you've spoken in all these ways.The indicative form is simply naming reality.The subjunctive form asks, “What if?”The imperative form—the command—can lead people in very life-giving ways.Lisa Lamb reflects on how preaching can help congregations wrestle with competing values.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books mentioned:Resonate: How to Preach for Deep Connection, by Lisa LambParaclete Mission AssociatesRich and Lisa Lamb pageTo register for the webinar with Tom Sine and Tod Bolsinger, click here:https://www.markuswatson.com/sinewebinarLearn how to lead your church into ministry that matters.

·       Born 1907 in Hong Kong, an ethnic Chinese named Li Tim Oi, which means ‘Much Beloved'. Father chose this name because he valued her as a daughter even when other Chinese preferred sons·       When she became an Anglican and was baptised as a student she took the name Florence·       1931 aged 24 she was present for the ordination of Lucy Vincent as a Deaconess in Hong Kong cathedral and there was a call for women to give their lives to Christian Ministry. Minister asked, “Here is an Englishwoman who is offering herself to serve the Church. Might there also be a Chinese woman who feels called by God to serve as a deacon?' Tim-Oi prayed and asked, 'God would you like to send me?' This was her inspiration.·       Wanted to study for the ministry but her family couldn't afford it. Others paid for her to do so·       Theological College in Canton, China. 4 year course completed age 31·       Worked 2 yrs in Hong Kong helping refugees from mainland China during 2nd Sino-Japanese War·       Hong Kong Bishop Ronald Hall sent her to help refugees in neutral Macau. (about 60kn distance) She was in charge of the parish·       6 months later recalled to Hong Kong ordained Deaconess May 1941 age 34 and given permission to administer the sacraments·       Because of the war no Anglican priests could get to neutral Macau and there was no resident priest there·       January 1944 Florence travelled through Japanese occupied territory to a small town, not taken by the Japanese, to meet her bishop. He ordained her priest 25 January 1944 age 37 so that the residents of Macau were not deprived of the sacraments. ·       Someone wrote of this: “Fearless Ang Bishop, discerning a match between wartime need and a uniquely gifted person, ordained a humble, yet steel-spined disciple of Christ into the priesthood.”·       Bishop Hall was “merely confirming that God had already given Tim-Oi the gift of priestly ministry.”·       He acknowledged that she was the only person willing to serve in the most dangerous of territories·       I have three Chinese priests in Hong Kong but they cannot now get permission to go to Macao. Her work has been remarkably successful.  My judgment is that it is only exceptional women who can do this kind of work.  But we are going to have such exceptional women in China and such exceptional need.  Moreover, working as a minister in charge of a congregation, Deaconess Li has developed as a man-pastor develops and has none of that frustrated fussiness that is noticeable in women who, having the pastoral charisma, are denied full exercise in the ministry of the church.  ·       Hall continued, ‘I'm not an advocate for the ordination of women. I am, however, determined that no prejudices should prevent the congregations committed to my care having the sacraments of the Church.' ·       30 years before any part of the Ang Comm regularised the ordination of women·       End of the Sino-Japanese war 1945 there were protests about her ordination. She resigned her licence but not her priesthood·       Returned to China to serve the church in Hepu County, not far along the coast from Macau but in mainland China·       Communist govt closed all churches from 1958 to 1974.·       Great Leap Forward 1958 – failed 5 yr plan·       Cultural Revolution 1966-76 ended when Mao died·       Fl

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Today we are talking about sex which may not be appropriate for younger kids to hear. Sexuality is more complicated now and so much more widely accessible, especially to our kids… it's everywhere we look. And as a single parent, the other parent may often have different views on sexuality than us. So how do we walk our kids into a healthy understanding of what sex is? It's not a matter of if they're going to be exposed to it; it's a matter of when. We want to be proactive, as uncomfortable as it is, but for so many of us, we don't know how, what or when to do it. Often it wasn't modeled well for us, and now that it's everywhere around us, our kids are exposed more than we ever would've imagined we would be. Many of us raised in the church associate sex with shame, so we're walking into this with our own bag of complexities. We want to make this disclaimer: We will not be talking today about what is right or wrong, what we tell our kids they should or shouldn't do because there are enough available resources that can help you define those boundaries for your kids. Today we are going to talk about how we approach the topic, when we approach the topic, and probably most importantly, how to create a safe, open place for talking about sex without shaming, which, studies show, keep us from bringing sexual topics into the light. And when things are left in the shadows, the enemy can turn those thoughts into destructive forces. ?We have a couple of experts on this episode to guide us through this. Adam Young, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master degrees in Social Work and Divinity. Serves as a Fellow with The Allender Center, and I am the host of The Place We Find Ourselves podcast. He is married with two kids. Bethany Robbins served at Theological College of Zimbabwe and is in advanced training under Dan Allender as a lay counselor. She and her husband are missionaries in Malawi, bringing theological education and training leaders to embrace ministry to the fatherless, sojourner, and widow.
