Saint Mary's Talks and Podcasts Saint Mary's Church

This week we were joined at Chapel Road by the incredible Sarah Jackson —
long term friend of Saint Mary’s and CEO of Revitalise Trust, the
organisation responsible for church planting in the HTB Network, and more.
She shared with us from the life of Ezekiel, encouraging us to step out
into our context in the power of the Spirit, and see dry bones come to
life.

God is good, evil is real, and there is a way to fight that everyone can
engage with.

Wrapping up our Can I Get A Witness series, Jon shares how, with God's
help, we can stand and fight in the face of an enemy that wants to
discourage and distance us from God.

The passage is 1 Peter 5:6-11.

We are all being formed by something, so as followers of Jesus, how can we
be formed by him rather than by the world?

For us to be formed by Jesus, Sam shares that:

Worship must be stronger than idolatry,
Love must be stronger than hate,
and Forgiveness must be stronger than unforgiveness.

Want to make a difference in the world around you? This week Tom looks at
the example of Nehemiah, giving us 5 characteristics to cultivate in order
to be a redemptive influence in our city.

This week, on Pentecost Sunday, Jon shares how in order to live a life of
witness in the world we need to receive extraordinary power from the Holy
Spirit, showing us that our distinctiveness as followers of Jesus comes
from being fundamentally supernatural beings.

We all go through seasons of feeling spiritually dry. — cynical, apathetic.
There’s a word for that - “Languishing.”

From 2 Peter 1:3-9, Tom shares how Peter gives 3 encouragements for
spiritually dry followers of Jesus.
