Sunday 2nd March was Jen’s last Sunday with us as a curate. We read Matthew 14:22-36 and Jen shared her reflections on the excitement and challenge of leaving the safety of the harbour and responding to God’s call to new adventures. ‘We are not meant for the harbour…we gather to be equipped so we can go out and grow God’s kingdom.’ You can listen here or using the player below.
We marked the beginning of Advent on 1st December, a season where we acknowledge the realities of fear, violence and exploitation while hoping, working and praying for a better future shaped by God’s justice and peace. Jen spoke about hope, encouraging us to be open to God’s transforming power in our lives which forms us into people who can be agents of peace, justice and reconciliation in the world. The reading is Isaiah 11:1-10. You can listen here or using the player below.
Jen reads the story of the first outpouring of God’s Spirit as the Church began (Acts 2:1-21;40-41). She invites us to consider how we have experienced the Spirit at work in our lives and our readiness to receive more as God continues to give this gift, then to share with our friends and neighbours in a spiritually hungry society. God’s gift of the Spirit is the true source of satisfaction for those who search for fulfilment in all sorts of places. You can listen here or using the player below.
“We are to be flung out across communities, across the nation and the world, mingling and sparkling like God’s glitter, sparkling amongst ordinary life to show that God’s love is not so ordinary but is something radical and life-changing.” – Dennis Ashley
