Spirit: Bones - Joey Mitchell

April 22nd 2018. Spirit: Bones. (Ezekiel 37). Ezekiel was a priest, the son of a priest, carried into exile in the first wave of Babylonian captivity with Jehoacin in 597 B.C. Five years later when he was 30 and the age he would have started his temple ministry Ezekiel has a visionary encounter with God and is commissioned as a Prophet. His deeply symbolic work carries a strong focus on the temple and also on the Spirit. Ezekiel 37 is a memorable prophetic vision of the valley of dry bones, an image which speaks as powerfully to situations of apparent ‘death’ and decay today as it did about the nation of Israel in the 5th century BC.

April 22nd  2018. Good Grief: Longing (Romans 8:18-26). Longing is a bitter-sweet emotion. Longing implies something wonderful exists to be longed for, but the state of longing means we don’t have what is longed for yet. Who hopes for what they already have? Longing seems to be part of the human psyche, ‘God has set eternity in the hearts of men’ says the writer of Ecclesiastes. What part has longing played in your spiritual journey?

Good Grief: Loss - Rob Scott-Cook

April 15th 2018. Good Grief: Loss (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) ‘In every season turn, turn, turn’ sang the Byrds in their 60’s hit single quoting the book of Ecclesiastes. Life has seasons, and each season may well hold loss and grief as well as growth and opportunity. We are not great at accepting loss in western culture. We can be in denial about loss of youth, loss of significance and ultimately loss of life itself. God seems to have a different perspective; perhaps loss can be the place where we find ourselves.

Living with end in mind: The gospel of the Kingdom - Tim Dobson (7 pm Podcast)

podcast5.jpg

March 11th 2018. Living with the end in mind: Gospel of the Kingdom Mark 13:10. Stephen Covey, best-selling author of ‘7 habits of highly effective people’ says ‘begin with the end in mind’. The Bible narratives all point towards an end and Jesus’ parables often address those who fail to live with the end in mind. Jesus said to his disciples when asked about the ‘end of the age’, ‘The gospel must first be preached to all nations’(c.f. Matthew 24:14, Luke 24:47). So far everyone who has predicted the end of the world has got it wrong! Does that mean that it’s not for humans to discern, or that conditions for the end of the ages have not yet been fulfilled?
