Romans 12:1-21 When Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, he was very thorough! In his letter as we read it now, Paul spends 11 chapters focusing on how our perspective of a downward spiral of life changes when we follow Jesus. We are saved from hopelessness through faith in Jesus, not by our own […]
2 Peter 3: 8-18. The Lord will return as promised and it will be unexpected and dramatic. As foreigners in this world (1 Peter 2:11) we can look forward to our homecoming – to a new heaven and a new earth. So “what kind of people ought (we) to be”? (v11). We ought to be […]
2 Peter 3: 1 – 9. Looking up to receive from God, looking back into Scripture and heeding His warning [in other words the last three weeks of teaching] prepares us for “wholesome thinking” (v1). We can see that God the creator is in control of history bringing openings and closings as He chooses. His […]
2 Peter 2 ; Numbers 22: 21 – 35. The world is broken (v20) and will seek to distract and divert with untruth if care is not shown. So we need to look up to God to receive his Spirit, look back into Scripture to know his truth and then trust that “the Lord knows […]
2 Peter 1: 16 – 21 ; 2 Peter 3: 15 – 16. We can know that our faith is founded on sure foundations when we turn to the eye-witness accounts in scripture and the Holy Spirit inspired communication through the Prophets (representing the Old Testament) and Peter and Paul (representing the New Testament). Reading […]
2 Peter 1: 1 – 15. We need to acknowledge all that we have received and are receiving from our loving God. Our response is to grow more like Jesus, that we might be effective and productive. A rich welcome will then await in the eternal kingdom.
Acts 2:42-47, Exodus 3 and 4, Isaiah 6:1-8, Hebrews 12:1. What have we learnt together over the last few weeks that will enable and motivate us to keep “Talking Jesus”? It doesn’t end here because the need for us to talk to people about Jesus never ends. We don’t need to be able to share […]
Hebrews 12:1-3; Colossians 4:2-6. When Jesus called his first disciples, he invited them to “Follow me”. Peter was invited by his brother, Andrew, to come and meet Jesus. There will always be someone who God is prompting us to talk to about Jesus – it’s reckoned that 70% of regular church goers will know immediately […]
John 3:1-21; Acts 2:14-41. Today’s film says, “God invites us into His story”. That is an important thing to remember because when we talk Jesus, we’re not inviting people into our personal story, or our church story, but into God’s story. Our story doesn’t exist without it being bound up in and through God’s story. […]
1 Peter 3:15; John 4:1-42. 36% of people come to faith by talking to a Christian. It’s the second highest factor behind finding faith by living in a Christian family. It makes our story massively important – it doesn’t have to be a dramatic story, but we do have a story to tell about how […]
