    Journeying with Jesus | How to Pray

    Journeying with Jesus | How to Pray

    Kia ora Agora,
    Today, we are looking at one of the most well-known parts of the Bible: The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Is Jesus literally saying, "this is the only way to pray," or is He giving us a guide? If it is only a guide or template, then why does Jesus not introduce it as such but literally says, "Pray like this" (Matt 6:9)? This is a powerful, humbling prayer that millions of Christians pray daily, yet I wonder how many of us grasp the deep, powerful meaning threaded throughout the prayer.

    Jesus' Call to His Disciples

    Jesus' Call to His Disciples

    The first three gospels all have Jesus’ call to his disciples. 12 were called; they lived with him for three years and over that time they were shaped by His words and by his actions. Following Jesus meant leaving their home and their work and, in Peter’s case, his wife. This raises a question. What do we mean when we say that we follow Jesus?

    Journeying with Jesus | The Call of Jesus

    Kia ora,
    Today we start a new series called 'Journeying with Jesus' which will lead us into Easter. First, we are thinking about the call of Jesus to people far from God and to people close to God. So, how does Jesus call people? Is it in a dramatic loud way to get their attention amid a crazy planet and wild society? Or is He more gentle and quiet as he speaks into the lives of people who need to hear his voice?

    Dependence on the Father | Navigating Through Change

    Dependence on the Father | Navigating Through Change

    Kia ora Agora,
    Today we continue our Dependence on the Father series. Change is usually hard. Often it is messy and difficult, and we can want things to go back to the way it was before. God calls us to be at peace in Him, to trust Him, and that He has us in all circumstances. But - when change is swirling around us it can feel anything but peaceful - how do we trust God and find peace in Him in those moments?

    Dependence on the Father | Change

    Dependence on the Father | Change

    Kia ora Agora,
    Today, we start a new series, 'Dependence on the Father', with a focus based on navigating through change - Isaiah 43:18-19. As a church, we are going through a season of change. As Christians, how do we find the faith we need to face major change? How do we not just get through it, but use change as a springboard to something much better than we have now?

    Psalms 34

    Psalms 34

    Kia ora Agora,
    Today, Al will bring a contemplative thought on God's other book, the book of nature, from Psalm 19. We will also hear from Shelley, who will take us to Psalm 34 where we find these phases:
    - Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him.
    - The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
    - Our Father sees us and hears us always.
