What Would Jesus Undo? – Spiritual Pride
Jesus tells as story of two people going into the temple to pray in Luke 18.9-14. One, the Pharisee, has spiritual pride – comparison, attention seeking, fault-finding, whereas the tax collector (the bad guy!) humbles himself before the Lord. Jesus would undo Spiritual Pride because when we’re full of ourselves there’s no room for God.

The Story Continues: Extravagant in Giving
God has given us many blessings and thus many ways we might give to others. Jane explores 3 different giving mindsets – the bag (Haggai 1.6), the basket (Luke 6.38) and the barn (Proverbs 3.9-10). We’re called to give extravagantly and trust that God will give to us abundantly.
View SermonThe Story Continues: Faithful in Service
Jon looks at three examples from Scripture (1 Sam 17.17-18, Lk 19.28-35, Jn 13.4-5), recognising our identity as servants of the Most High God, and the invitation to join with God’s story by serving. When we serve others we are serving Jesus (Mat 25.40) and in the Kingdom of God the little things are big things.

Miracles – Healing
Jon explores miraculous healing, looking at Luke 7.1-10 and lots of other texts. Our God heals but He doesn’t heal everyone all the time, so what do we do with that? Should we continue to pray for people? Ultimately it comes down to the truth that our faith isn’t based on what God does, it’s based on who God is.
