    Salt & Light

    Steve & Ros Lazar | Psalm 133:1-3; Matthew 5:13-16; Isaiah 60:1-2 — Jesus calls His followers to be ‘the salt of the earth’ and ‘the light of the world’. This does not require us to drum something up from within ourselves, but rather to let the flavouring and life of Jesus’ way flow from our lives to those around us. Whether to Mozambique or your neighbour next door, let your life be salt and light to the world. Hear reflections from long term missionaries to Mozambique, Steve & Ros Lazar.

    Prayer: Abiding With God

    Andrew Baker | John 15:1-8,16; Revelation 2:2-4 — Crying out for God to move powerfully in situations is good and right, but when prayer becomes solely about transactions and outcomes, we reduce God to a means for our own end. First and foremost, prayer is an invitation to unity; an act of abiding with the God who calls us to intimate relationship with Him. Effective intercession must start with the cry: “Lord, let my heart beat with yours”.

    ‘Lord Help Us, We’re Fasting’

    Adam Ritchard | Matthew 5:6, 6:5-18; Joel 2:12-13 — Fasting is a largely neglected spiritual practice in the modern church. But, alongside prayer, this unseen discipline is a key means through which God’s power is enabled in our lives. Fasting redirects our hunger, deepens our devotion, exposes our sin, and releases the work of the Holy Spirit. As we enter a season of prayer and fasting, may God refuel and refire our hearts!

    'Lord, Teach Us To Pray'

    Adam Ritchard | Luke 11:1-13 — Jesus was devoted to prayer, so much so that His disciples specifically asked Him to teach them how to pray for themselves. Jesus’ response emphasises that prayer is not an optional extra - it is a priority. We are to come before God in simplicity and sincerity; with tenacity and audacity; and with consistency and persistency. Lord, would you teach us to pray.

    The Priority Of Prayer

    Andrew Baker | Ephesians 6:10-20 — Paul’s concluding remarks to the Ephesians remind us that prayer is not an optional extra or a last resort. Prayer is a critical part of the armour that we as God’s people need to stand firm against the powers of darkness. Far beyond duty, prayer is our priority and joy; a constant invitation to commune with the God who desires to bring His Kingdom near upon the earth.

    How Love Grows

    Andrew Baker | Ephesians 4:1-16 — Growing in love as the Body of Christ cannot and will not happen in isolation. As Paul urges the Ephesians, this love is forged in the context of a community without spectators or consumers: a group of real, different, broken people, willing to put aside individual preference for the unifying truth of Jesus.

    Filled With The Fullness Of God's Love

    Andrew Baker | Ephesians 3:14-20 — To grow as God intends, Paul’s desire for the Ephesian church and us as believers is to be grounded in and filled with the fullness of God’s love. We cannot achieve this by striving or trying harder, but rather by learning to receive, with open hands.

    Beholding Jesus, The Lion & The Lamb

    Joshua Rowe | Ephesians 1:19-20, 2:13,19-22; Hosea 2:19-23, 4:13, 5:14; 1 Corinthians 1:18 — If we as God’s people are to be built together effectively, none other than Christ must be our collective goal and foundation. As we behold Him rightly, may we submit to the kingship of Jesus the Lion, and receive the sacrificial mercy of Jesus the Lamb. Hear from guest speaker, Joshua Rowe.
