God shares His good news by inviting a young women of low social standing to play her part in bringing in His Kingdom. Mary's response is staggeringly obedient and powerfully tender. What can we learn from this story as we look to share the good news with those around us?
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is being given an intimacy with God - this is a wonderful gift in itself! But, it also brings with it a purpose, as part of His Kingdom Coming, and His power, as He does wonderful things in and through us.
In today’s passage, Jesus calls Levi to be his disciple and answers the questions of some concerned locals.
Lucy takes a pause from our series in Luke to look at how, as a whole church, we are being invited to press more into prayer. We are invited to reflect on who it is we pray to and what that means for how we should pray. Prayer is an engine room for the church, and, it needs to be for this church too. We’re being invited to put more coals on that fire!
Lucy talks about God's heart of compassion and shares the direction we're wanting to take the church’s compassion ministry. This is for the whole church to step into more, so it can be on all of our hearts, to help us keep in line with what’s in God’s heart, so we can more effectively partner with God to share his love and care for our community.
This Sunday we kicked off our Summer series, which is all about what we value as God’s family, the Church, and how these values play out in our church family at Kingdom Vineyard. This week, Lucy looks at how we can engage with the Bible to help us get to know God better.
On Good Friday Lucy reflected on what it might have been like to of stood at the cross that first Good Friday, and asked how we might respond as we reflect on the cross today. Where do we stand?
