In this all-age service we think about the direction that our life takes and the decisions we make.
Destiny and fate are different. Esther has a destiny to fulfil but she must decided if she will do so. We too have a destiny and are called for such a time as this. The question is whether we will choose to fulfil our destiny.
In this chapter a personal slight is escalated to attempted genocide. The plot explores freewill and God’s sovereignty. In the light of the cross, Chris challenges us to recognise our individual responsibilities to stand for truth and to oppose the prejudices which lead to genocide.
In the midst of the mess of real life, in a hostile environment, Esther and Mordecai discover God’s favour and become part of His plan. Where might God’s favour be at work in our lives?
As we begin a new series in Esther, Susan looks at the first chapter explaining how we can see that God acts even when it’s not immediately obvious. Chapter 1 sets the stage for everything that is to come…
Who do you think you are? Are you defined by your DNA? By your family tree. By your nationality? Or your race? By your gender or your sexuality? Are you defined by your inherited religion? The Apostle Paul found a new identity in Christ and Jesus calls us to do the same. Chris challenges us to forget who we thought we were and press on towards the goal of knowing Jesus more because the more we know Him the more we shall be like Him.
What does loving God with everything you are and have look like in your life? What does loving your neighbour as yourself look like? In Mark 12 Jesus contrasts the behaviour of those who have rejected God with His summary of the commandments and calls those who would follow Him to love God with everything we are and have and to love our neighbour as ourselves. We can’t do this in our strength but by grace the Spirit enables us to fulfil the law through His love at work in us.
Kath Robinson continues the series in Mark, this week looking at Chapter 11 vs 12-26 and challenging us to consider if we are being fruitful for God’s Kingdom.
In Mark 10 Jesus focuses on how we can enter the Kingdom of God. His teaching calls for a radical reversal of all we might think. We can not be good enough. Our hearts are hard. Our leadership aspirations are deeply flawed. Jesus is our ransom to set us free. Only when we recognise that it is impossible for us to change ourselves can we be saved by faith in the God of the impossible. What needs to change in our lives in the light of this revelation?
Some of the most important things in life are imperceptable to our 5 senses. There is a spiritual dimension to life which is vitally important but not always visible. In this service we learn about Jesus who makes the invisible God visible and think about how we might respond.
