Luke 18:9-17
Looking at the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector and the teaching that follows, Caitlin explores what this can tell us about how we approach God and what questions this teaching from Jesus invites us to ask of ourselves.
Persisting in Prayer
Luke 18:1-8
What does the story about the persistent widow tell us about what God is like? What does that mean for how we can approach our God in prayer? And what does it look like, practically, for us to persevere in prayer?
Note: As part of this sermon, a congregation member shared their story of persisting in prayer. They shared openly and vulnerably and for that reason, it has been edited out of this recording
When is the Kingdom coming?
Luke 17:20-37
As Jesus turns his course for the last time towards Jerusalem and death, He turns His teaching towards how we should live, as we wait for His return.
Following Well: Forgiveness and Faith
Luke 17:1-10
Jesus gives instructions for his followers on how to view our service to God, how seriously to take avoiding sin, how much forgiveness matters to him, and what having faith for the miraculous is like.
Living in the “Now-and-Not-Yet”
Luke 16:10-31
In this passage, Jesus takes on attitudes to the temptations of “Girls, Gold, and Glory”, as we live in a Kingdom that is both fully here, and yet still not fully realised. The way we read passages like this are crucial to our understanding of Jesus, and the way we should live.
Godly Shrewdness
Luke 16:1-15
Carrie unpacks all things shrewdness, (dis)honesty, and the alignment of our hearts through the Parable of the Dishonest Manager.
The Parable of the Scandalously Forgiving Father - Part 2
Luke 15:11-32
Toby follows on from Jim last week giving a part 2 on Jesus’ parable on the prodigal son and what it has to tell us about God.
The Parable of the Scandalously Forgiving Father - Part 1
Luke 15:11-32
Jesus tells a story about “what God is like” that is deeply challenging. God’s forgiveness and grace is outrageous, scandalous, and means that any of us can come back to Him without having to jump through hoops.
Jesus, Friend of Sinners
Luke 15:1-10
As a seasonal exercise, this passage calls us not to resolutions as to what we will and will not do in the coming year. I call us to change our mindset:-radically.
"Be My Disciple"
Luke 14:25-35
Jesus is surprisingly, starkly, clear about the costs of becoming His disciple. Jim look at Jesus’ challenging words and how we can learn from them today.
