We have a lot of plans for this year - Ian Waddington [Sunday Pastor] outlines them for us here!
Jesus started building His church with Peter
but He is still building it with who? Us.
“God’s word needs to focus us sometimes, so that we don’t burn out doing the unimportant, but that we only do what God wants us to do. And then we can do it with the full resources of God’s help” - Ian Waddington
“You don’t understand mercy until you understand what you have been forgiven from”
- Ian Waddington explores what 'loving mercy' means in Micah 6:8
“Which one of us can face the reality of our sins, if we’re not first of all assured of Christ’s love for us, made tangible in the love from others” - it’s in knowing him that we can know ourselves... that’s why the Church’s expressed disapproval of sin always needs to be in the context of acceptance of the people concerned.”
- Ian Waddington
“A neighbour is somebody that has compassion.
Somebody who can feel what it’s like to be in need
and then responds with respect and kindness”
- Ian Waddington
“Almost everybody that was admired in the new testament was both radically simple and radical generous with their money and possessions - starting with Jesus himself… “
- Ian Waddington
Ian presented some practical ideas to get us started, or further down the track on the journey of clearing out our lives in order to make space for relationship.
A deeper look at love in 1 Corinthians 13 - Ian Waddington takes this familiar passage of scripture and brings new meaning and depth to what it means to truly love.
