This letter gives us another secret to growth and change to those of us who are feeling a little bit complacent. Maybe we feel a little more bored than blessed when we connect with church … Perhaps we feel a lot more attached to this world than we’d like - (who doesn’t struggle with that?) and looking us straight in the eye Jesus says - “I want you to see your need as you never have before. Then I’d be able to meet your need as I never have before.” John writes this way to the church in Laodicea - “To the angel of the church of Laodicea write, ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds that you’re neither cold nor hot … I wish that you were one or the other … But you don’t realise you’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you get from me gold refined in the fire so you can become rich and white clothes to wear so you can cover your shameful nakedness salve to put on your eyes so you can see.” (Revelation 3:14 ff) Not easy words from Jesus but they end with his remarkable promise - “Look! I am standing at the door and I'm constantly knocking. If anyone opens the door I will come in and I’ll fellowship with him; I’ll relate to him, I’ll dine with him and he’ll fellowship with me.” (Revelation 3:20 – Message)

As Jesus drew near to his death on a cross, He offered us a profound insight into the power of willingly surrendering your life. Using the imagery of a single seed, Jesus points us to the abundant harvest that comes from dying to self and living for God’s eternal purposes.

This Sunday at 10am we continue our teaching series, 'Beautiful Resistance'.
We will confront the extent to which fear subtly dominates our lives, and challenge ourselves to offer the sort of radical hospitality that made Jesus such a revolutionary figure.

This Sunday we continue our series: 'Beautiful Resistance - the joy of conviction in a culture of compromise’. This week our challenge will be to keep our hunger for more of God's kingdom alive, and not yield our hearts to the spiritual apathy that dominates so much of our modern culture. We look forward to seeing you from 10am.

This Sunday our teaching series ’Beautiful Resistance’ continues as we consider God’s call to sabbath rest. The sabbath is a weekly reminder that we are not what we do - rather, we are who we are loved by.
We will consider how Jesus will never be seen as beautiful or desirable if his followers are stressed-out and worn-out in the exact same way as the rest of the world.

'In a time of compromise and disillusionment, God is calling his people to a movement of beautiful resistance’ says Jon Tyson on the back of his new book of the same name.
Over the next couple of months we will be following Jon’s insights gleaned from many years leading a flourishing church in New York City. In the midst of our permissive western culture, we will learn how to be a joyful, distinctive community as we follow Jesus together and offer hope to our world.
