What Would Jesus Undo? – Indifference
Jon kicks off a new series called ‘What Would Jesus Undo?’. In Revelation 3.15-20 Jesus speaks against Spiritual Indifference, a lukewarm faith, caused by self-sufficiency (v.17) and distraction (Mark 4.19). Jesus wants us to turn from indifference by welcoming him back into our lives by faith (v.19-20) and a practical way of doing this is to commit to doing something every day that requires faith.

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: Expectant in Worship
Working through 1 Kings 8.1-11 and Ephesians 5.18-19 Jon looks at being expectant in worship as a way of joining in with God’s story. Worship begins with gathering, worship is about God not us, worship is costly, and worship brings us closer to God.
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.
View SermonThe Story Continues: Bold in Witness
Jon looks at the difference between the disciples in John 20.19-22 (afraid) and Acts 4.8-13 (bold). Sharing our faith is part of the story God is writing through us as a church, and in order to grow in boldness we need to spend time with Jesus and ask God to increase our boldness (and help us to step into opportunities to grow!).
View SermonThe Story Continues: God’s not finished
Jon looks at the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 to think about how we respond to our stories getting stuck. Faced with armies rising against him, Jehoshaphat is honest with God and listens to God’s revelation that He is in charge, that it’s His battle not ours, that the story isn’t finished.
