The ‘prayer of a righteous person’ - does this mean that one needs to attain a certain level of holiness of life before being heard? No, we are righteous in Christ. But there is something to be said for the pure of heart being able to ‘see God’

Sitting tight, standing firm, staying confident in the midst of seeming stasis. All of these depend upon the depth of confidence possessed, and that in turn depends on the knowledge of and belief in the utter sovereignty of God.

What’s wrong with being rich? Why are they told to ‘weep and howl’? Do riches make you de facto unrighteous? No, but Jesus does say it is harder if you are rich. You are carrying a greater burden and can’t run so freely.

Our endeavours should be both whole hearted and tentative: Wholehearted in the sense of commitment and others-oriented responsibility. Tentative in the sense of humility at circumstances beyond our control and particularly the Lord’s Will.

Where do personal conflicts come from? Grasping for prominence and fear of missing out can be so great as to compromise and exceed our care for others. How are our hearts to be captivated with His cause? His majesty and beauty?

In season 11 episode 3 of Livelunch we are joined with Matt Carvel, Christine Liddiard, and Stephen Dawson discussing our latest sermon 'Wisdom from Above' from our newest series 'Resilient'.

We are not sovereign as we think - rather we are at the mercy of messages coming from above and below. ‘Wisdom calls’ as we read in Proverbs, but so does Folly. This latter ‘wisdom’ gains consensus with the age we live in. James calls it earthly, unspiritual, demonic which points to the ephemeral, temporary and passing. This is opposed to the really-real, eternal and permanent - a Wisdom which is offered and accessible and infinitely preferable.

Does it matter what we say? Do we have the freedom to speak our mind? James looks at the power of the tongue and the life or destruction it can bring.

In season 11 episode 2 of Livelunch with Yohaan Philip, Matt Carvel, LeAnn Gyekye discussing our latest sermon 'Don't Discriminate' from our newest series 'Resilient'.

If people in need revolt you and people who can ‘open doors’ attract you, you are at odds with the ethos and practice of Jesus. Love as He defines it is the opposite of sycophantic favouritism.

In season 11 episode 1 of Livelunch Yohaan Philip, Matt Carvel, Christine Liddiard & Tobi Ford-Western discuss our latest sermon 'Did You Do It' from our newest series 'Resilient'.

It’s easy to listen to ideas, advice and commands and agree that they are good but not to follow through on their implications! God has said it, you agree with it; Did you do it?

In the end, our ability to face trials and temptations has everything to do with our perception of the heavenly Father, in whom there is no shadow of turning, and from whom every good gift comes.

James begins by urging his readers to gladly receive the trials that wash into their lives, since these trials produce steadfastness.

In the midst of a pandemic, many of us are tired and weary and not at all spiritually sharp. Seeking God is a great thing to do at the beginning of a new year, but are we even ready?
