Bankrupt the Grave – Week 2Description:In Mark 1, we meet a man whose life has been defined by shame. Isolated. Rejected. Forced to announce his brokenness everywhere he goes. But when he risks everything to get close to Jesus, one touch changes everything.This message isn't just about physical healing—it's about what Jesus does with shame.In Week 2 of Bankrupt the Grave, we discover that Jesus doesn't create distance from broken people—He closes it. He touches what others avoid, restores what shame has stolen, and brings dignity back to lives marked by rejection.In this message, you'll learn:Why leprosy was about more than sickness—it was about shameHow desperation can become a doorway to healingWhy we hide what others once had to shoutHow Jesus confronts shame by closing the distanceWhy healing always leads to restoration and belongingIf you've been hiding, managing, or masking your pain—this message is an invitation to get close.Because where Jesus is, healing happens.
Many people hesitate to trust Christianity because they've experienced conditional love from Christians that felt more like judgment than genuine care. Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to examine whether our faith is authentic or just false advertising. The story reveals that loving your neighbor means showing mercy to anyone in need, regardless of their background or beliefs. The real test of faith isn't what we say we believe, but whether our actions demonstrate genuine, unconditional love. When people consistently experience this kind of authentic love from believers, it helps them trust that Christianity might actually be the real thing.

We know that Jesus has set us free. We are justified—declared guiltless, free to go. Yet so often we feel like we still owe something, like we'll never be good enough. But is that how it really works? Righteousness is not earned; it's a gift. You are righteous because of Jesus—not because you never fail, but because Christ never failed. Faith isn't about effort; it's about trust. Trusting that Jesus took your sin and credited you with His righteousness.

What does a truly Christian life look like? In this message from 1 John 2:1–14, we explore the second mark of true Christianity: a life marked by holiness. John shows us that while Christians are not sinless, they are no longer characterized by sin. True faith produces obedience, love for others, and a growing likeness to Christ.At the same time, this passage offers deep hope. When we do sin, we are not left in despair—Jesus is our righteous Advocate and the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Through Him, both the penalty and power of sin are overcome.

Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals that walking worthy isn't about earning our value through good behavior, but living from the security of knowing we're already worthy because of Christ. True humility flows from being anchored in God's love rather than seeking worth from external sources like achievements or approval. Christ-centered humility, combined with gentleness, creates unity in families, churches, and communities by allowing us to contribute to healing rather than division.

Holy Habits | Pastor Jeremy Isaacs | Week Two by Generations Church
This weekend, explore the importance of reflecting and rejoicing in your everyday life! While you grow in your prayer journey, don't miss the opportunity to look to Jesus and practice gratitude intentionally.
Warning: This episode contains an alarming amount of chat about a mysterious stranger called Derek and more casual mentions of “minge” in the first four minutes than any of us could ever have anticipated. It is funny, honest, slightly feral… and absolutely not one for the school run. Best enjoyed with headphones on and children safely out of earshot.So, you've just started your sober journey? Doing Dry January? Or quietly wondering what life might look like without booze? This episode is your brutally honest, slightly emotional roadmap through your first 30 days alcohol-free.Vic and Hamish take you through sobriety week by week, honestly unpacking what really happens to your body, brain, sleep, mood, social life, trousers, and overall sanity as alcohol slowly leaves the stage. Alongside plenty of science, swearing, and questionable oversharing, there are also genuinely tender moments where you might realise… you are actually doing this. Today we explore those early sugar cravings and wobbles, the sudden bursts of confidence that can catch you out, the strange emotional storms that roll in around Week Two, the clearer thinking and calmer days that begin to appear in Week Three, and that brilliant Week Four moment when you look at yourself and think, “Hang on… this might actually work.If you are five days in, swaying at day twelve, feeling uncertain at day twenty, or simply curious about how sobriety unfolds in real life, this episode gives you reassurance, humour, relatable stories, and genuinely helpful tools to get through it.You are not broken, you are healing. And honestly, you are doing something extraordinary.Press play, take a breath… and welcome to the awkward, hopeful, quietly life-changing first month of sober life.
