    Couch Church - The call to goodness

    This week Rev. Mandy reflects on Jesus's teachings in Luke 18:18-30.  A rich young man comes to Jesus and calls him Good Teacher.  Join us as we unpack what Jesus means by the word "good" and how doing good can be lived out as we follow Jesus.

    Couch Church - How do we approach God in prayer?

    This week Rev. Mandy reflects on Luke 18:1-4.  Jesus tells two parables about prayer - the Widow and the Unjust Judge and the Pharisee and Tax Collector.  From this we can draw out some examples of what to avoid when we come before God in prayer.  Most importantly, we can also draw out some examples of how we are to approach God - with confident, with persistence, with humility and with honesty.

    Couch Church - Wrangling over words

    This week Rev. Mandy reflects on 2 Timothy 2:8-15 and Paul's exhortation to Timothy to remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead and a descendant of David in all things.  Jesus is the one who unites us as Christians but too often we focus on the things that divide us.  We wrangle over words which destroy us and our witness to the world. We are called to remember Jesus and focus on the things that unite us, getting on with God's mission in the world, loving God and others just like Jesus commanded.

    Couch Church - the wrong lens

    This week in Couch Church Rev. Cathy reflects on a parable of a man who saw the world through the wrong lens, and challenges us to ask: do we need a vision test to check that we are seeing the world through God's lens?

    Couch Church - just as you did to the least of these

    This week in Couch Church Rev. Cathy brings us a special reflection for our week of prayer for refugees. We're reminded that the stranger wears the face of Christ, something that can be challenging for us.
