If you’ve been around me lately, you may know that I’m not a big fan of the word “like” as punctuation in our speech. “Like” has taken over from the word “actually” as a ‘spakfiller’ in our conversation. I don’t, like know, if you know what I like mean, but like sometimes it actually like, [...] [...]

Steve Cree spoke to us from Luke 19:1-10. It was significant for Jesus to be willing to not merely talk with Zacchaeus but to share in his house. As we seek to connect with people to connect them with Jesus, meals play a vital role in building that connection. Keen to reflect on God’s word more? Keen to pray more? Keen to be spurred on as you seek to follow our precious Saviour? Keen to get some out-of-tune singing happening in the car or shower – or both!? You know you are… While on holidays, I heard someone use the expression “the perfect lifestyle” to describe having a house 2 minutes down the road from work and from the beach. It got me thinking about what we think the “perfect lifestyle” actually is. This semester at the bible talks, we are trying something new. In addition to the main meeting (Tuesdays, 12 – 1pm), we also meet together for “issues in the plaza” (Thursdays from 12noon). This is a chance for students to think and discuss current issues, topics and relationships in the world over lunch. One of the great things about my job is that I get to visit Kids Church a couple of times every term. In fact, I was there just this last Sunday – and it was brilliant! I can’t remember seeing one kid who wasn’t having a good time and really engaged in what they were [...] [...] Thanks to all the year 6ers who came along to youth on Friday night. There were thirteen year 6ers and they all appeared to have a great time. The best part of the night for me was doing the Bible study with the ten year 6 boys. To be honest I was dreading it a [...] [...] Steve Cree spoke to us from 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16. God never calls us to be tricky or self serving in sharing the gospel of Christ. The gospel itself is about the genuine love and self sacrifice of Jesus. That is what we copy as we become messengers of it – sharing not just words but [...] [...] I’m very glad we don’t run the Christian race alone, but alongside brothers and sisters. And specifically, I’m very glad we don’t do ministry alone… but alongside brothers and sisters. Fellow workers. And I don’t just mean not just the paid ones, the staff ones (although that is a special joy) of course, but all [...] [...] If you heard the talk on Sunday you might remember my fascination with the phrase at the end of Colossians 4:5 – “redeeming the time”. I was having coffee with a small group leader this morning and he mentioned an extra dimension to the phrase that I hadn’t yet noticed: we need to be investing [...] [...] |
