As we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we seek to draw close to Him and in following Him we learn to follow His ways. The more we follow His ways the closer we follow Him and the more we learn about His ways.
Prepared to Serve
Sermons by Chris Johnson (Page 27)
The way in which Jesus brings light to a man born blind illustrates how His life brings light to all who will go where He sends them. Are you willing to go?
John tells us that Jesus’ life is the light of the world. The world is divided into two parts. The people who want to hide from that light and those who are drawn to trust in the life of Jesus so much that they change their behaviour. Hear what it means to believe in Jesus.
Jesus is alive. His body was raised physically from the grave. We consider the event of the resurrection and seek to live in the light this brings. Chris also explores the mysterious ending of Mark’s gospel.
Why does Mark focus in on the death of Jesus? What does it mean to carry his dying in our bodies so his life can be shown in us?
Chris leads reflections on each section of this powerful passage of Scripture. The questions are aimed to help us apply and respond to this passage in our lives today.
Jesus repeatedly calls on His followers to watch. What should we watch for and how should we respond?
Mark’s Gospel is an action packed account of the critical moments in Jesus ministry and teaching. Mark 12:29-31 is one of the keys which help us unlock the rest of the bible and interpret them inline with the Spirit’s guidance. We restart our series in Mark’s gospel by zooming into and out from this verse.
What does it mean to say we are created in God’s image and likeness? What can we learn about God and ourselves through this revelation? How should we respond?
God’s final question for us in this series is: What do you hope for? Ezekiel is challenged to go beyond what is achievable. In the light of the resurrection we too are called to prayer “Come Holy Spirit” into situations which seem beyond all hope.
