They know what we want. We are bombarded by ads that are personalised. They all offer a better life, better stuff, better experiences. And the advertising world is right. We do want life to be better. We are tired of what we have been offered so far.
Jesus points the way to this blessed life. It’s remarkably simple to understand.
And extremely hard to do.
Are you ready to explore?
Pentecost – the reminder that the Church’s adventures began when the Spirit filled ordinary people and they found bravery and courage they couldn’t have imagined.
For many people around the world, calling yourself a Christian is still a risky thing. But the same Holy Spirit causes them (and us) to stand firm, even when things don’t go well.
We were joined by special guest Rev Lee Proudlove from Open Doors – a group that connects us with Christians under the pressure of persecution.
Jesus was such an attractive teacher. He drew all sorts of people to himself: the clever ones, the sophisticated ones and the desperate ones.
What he asks of those who want to follow him is to lay aside their fear of what people might think of them and be courageous enough to follow a totally different path through life.
What does a successful life look like?
Is it when everyone praises you – as long as you are doing what they want?
Or is it about everyday acts of consistent service and courageous acts that change things?
Explore with us what Jesus thought was important and the difference it can make for us.
