The Armour of God is a powerful tool given to protect and equip us for the good work that God has prepared for us!

God has spoken to us, given us his word, that we can know relationship with our creator. Is there any greater gift we can have?

In light of the incredible things that Peter reveals to us, he then asks us, how then should we live? If Jesus really is who he says he is, and if his promises are really true, then that has to change everything!

As we have our Annual General Meeting this week, we hear the words of Peter calling forward to us and the things he sees facing the church.

We must know the word so that we can discern good and faithful teaching. We must stand firmly on the truth of Jesus!

The Apostle Peter knew his life was coming to an end, and he wrote a letter to the church telling us these final things. Let us hear and obey the words that the Spirit has given us through him.

When God brings his word to life within us, we are transformed - our appetites, our behaviours, our purpose are all made new as we live in submission to his will and his ways!

The Word Alive in Us should lead us to surrender and trust, knowing our heavenly Father is in control!

When the Word is alive in each of us, we are drawn together to become the body of Christ, his church, walking and living in his power together!

When God's word lives in us his holiness lives in us!

This week we're beginning our new series exploring what it means for the Word to be alive in us!

Jesus taught us all about life and walking with God, and at the end he taught us what to do with all of that - to take his teaching, and teach others. Go make disciples!

Jesus is alive! Join us as we celebrate the resurrection and explore what it means that Jesus is raised to life again for us!

Jesus has taught us how to live, how to worship, how to follow, but he also told us about the end. Our lives and this world will not go on forever - God will bring a conclusion to all things according to his will and for his glory. How does that change the way we should live?

Jesus is calling us to follow him, but we have to set down everything we are and everything we have if we do. The Rich Young Ruler couldn't do it. Can we?

The call of Jesus isn't to deny the world, it's to deny ourselves. We don't want to follow the patterns of the world, but Jesus is inviting us to see that the problem isn't all around us, it's in us too.

Jesus taught us what our mission looks like, what he has called us to do, and he is inviting us to follow him as he brings his Kingdom here to the world!

Jesus told us how to live, how to worship, and he finished his sermon on the mount with how to follow. He has grand promises and serious warnings for us on this journey, but he promises he will walk with us all the way through it!

So much of our efforts to worship wind up focused on ourselves and what other people think, but Jesus is calling us to look up and see our Father!

Jesus calls us to do something harder than anything else - love our enemies. The people who are hurting us, the people who make our lives miserable, the people who hurt the people we love. How can we do that? We need Jesus!
