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)

Has science in one way or the other shown that those of us who believe in God … really believe in a fairy tale which can only be sustained by people who are needy and emotional? A fairy tale which can't withstand serious rigorous intellectual investigation?

Over the past few weeks, I have been exploring with my staff and congregations the theme of generosity.
I would like to look at the link between generosity and leadership…
Generosity flows from the deep places of our lives and is certainly worth each of us considering when we examine our discipleship and the way we exercise leadership both inside and outside church.

How do we make a difference with our lives? We find the answer to that question when we have a “mission” that matters. A mission isn’t just a duty or a task. It's something that we will dream about, it will occupy our hearts and minds, and it will be a purpose that leads us. It's a powerful and magnetic quality.
When we became a follower of Jesus, God gave us a new mission and purpose for our lives. Listen as we learn about our mission and calling for our lives.

The concept of leaving a legacy may look very differently than secular society may have lead us to believe. As believers in Jesus Christ, we can leave a legacy of faith, hope, and love, and whilst on this earth, we can also live them out and share them with generosity. Listen in as we learn about a legacy worth more than gold and silver.

Why should we work - and work so hard? Work is one of life’s big issues. The Bible says - “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food” (Genesis 3:19) and our government says - now we can work till we’re 70.

Letting go of this life, this body, everything that we've worked for ... is a scary thought for many. Made scarier by the fact that a good many of us don't actually know what is going to happen to us when we die.

The Sunday after Easter is sometimes called “LOW” Sunday. You can imagine why… the Sunday after you’ve celebrated the resurrection of Jesus. Where do you go after that?
And that’s this message's question really. Where do we go after?
