How to convert a murderous sinner
At its heart Christianity is about an encounter with the resurrected Lord Jesus and embracing Him with your whole heart, not just giving Him a few aspects of your life, but giving Him full reign.

Faith for every day
We can learn a lot about faith from the story of Bartimaeus. Faith seeks Jesus, it acknowledges Jesus, it perseveres. Faith listens, dislodges, obeys / is responsive. It is clear what it wants. It receives. Faith embraces Jesus.

Jesus: more than a baby
This Jesus who came as a baby is the eternal One, with no beginning and no end. He's the all-powerful One, the Creator. On Christmas Day we remember Him not only as a baby, but also who He was and who He is.

The Inexpressible Gift
Some of the gifts we receive at Christmas are lovely, some are funny, and some are just strange. But Christmas is the time when we focus on God's inexpressible gift to us, Jesus.

The wise men
When the wise men found Jesus, He would not have been as they might have expected... It wasn't the external things that were amazing, but the baby born in a stable, placed in a manger, that they realised was the King of Kings. It's not the normal response when you see a baby, but they worshipped Him.

How should we think of death?
What is death? The Bible says that death is an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). We think it's natural because it happens to everyone, but God didn't create us for death, it came into the world through sin and is a sign of our brokenness (Romans 5:12). Death is unnatural. But death is also defeated (Isaiah 25:7-8, 1 Corinthians 15:54-55). We still die, because we live in a fallen world. But what happens when we die? And what comes at the end?

We are not grasshoppers!
When the Israelites first came to the Promised Land, there were four perspectives on the situation. Three were right; one was wrong. God's people believed the wrong one! It's not uncommon for God's people to have a wrong perspective of a situation. Through our 40 days of hungering after God, we were freshly provoked to see God as He is, to see ourselves as He sees us, and to lift our heads to follow Him where He's leading us, shedding the grasshopper mentality.

God's plan to bring peace and hope and reconciliation to our friends and our town is actually you!

What's our vision for it?

Jesus: who was, and is, and is to come
Jesus is the One who was and is and is to come. There is power in His name. He came not to condemn but to save. He was lifted up on a cross (see John 3:13-17), dying for our sin. Then he was lifted up into heaven (Acts 4:1-11), where He has all authority. He will be lifted up in glory, and every knee will bow (Revelation 1:7-8).

Behold and be held
We were made to behold God, in the glory of His holiness, and to be held by Him. When we behold and are held by Him, it propels us into loving others.

The church unleashed locally
Jesus proclaimed the gospel, healing the sick and showing compassion to the crowds, then told his disciples that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. We're the workers. We've been given the authority of Jesus to heal, to cleanse, to bring deliverance. This is our inheritance.

What boots are you wearing?
It is so easy for us to put on fear and unbelief, but God wants us to put on love and faith. So how do we do that?

Live according to the Spirit
When someone becomes a Christian, they may look the same on the outside, but they've been completely transformed on the inside. We can now live according to the Spirit, being conscious that the Spirit of God is within us, deciding to live a life (with the Spirit's help) that pleases God, and enjoying the knowledge that we are sons and daughters of the living God.

Disappointment with God
Disappointment with God is something that so many of us feel, but often we don't talk about it because we're not sure if it's ok as Christians to feel it. But if we admit you, there are a few antidotes to help us deal with it... These include dying, gazing, and thanking.
