Pete is back and will be sharing a few sabbatical learnings, including a visit to a Welsh retreat centre with a remarkable spiritual history. He will look at the 'ancient wells' of the Celtic Christian tradition and ask what it looks like for us to follow Jesus faithfully in today's world as we mark 185 years as a church this year.
In Ephesians 5, Paul calls us to live as dearly loved children, walking in love, light and wisdom. Our lives are to become a “fragrant offering”, carrying something of Christ into the world around us. Listen in as we unpack the question: What do people experience when they encounter us?
In chapter four of our Ephesians series, Paul shifts from his effusive praise of all that Christ has done for us, to a challenging invitation: “I…beg you to lead a live worthy of your calling.” It is an invitation that is only possible through the glory and the grace of the one who now indwells us!
Our world badly needs peace. Paul tells us that Christ is our peace, that Christ is the peace-maker. What is peace exactly? And how are we to ally with God in his peace-making ways? In this talk in our Wide Awake series, we are exploring the idea of remembering as the first step on the path of peace. We look at Ephesians 2 and 3.
Paul reminds us that we were spiritually dead, but God, because of His great love and mercy, has made us alive with Christ. Listen this week as we ask: Are we living from grace, or still trying to earn it? We are looking at Ephesians 2:1-10 (NIV).
