  • Loving Like Jesus: Involving Others

    Loving like Jesus means we have to learn to let go of our self-sufficiency and call others to help. Jesus wants us to work as a team, no matter how talented we believe ourselves to be. There will always be something we need help in, and so we are called to involve others in our story.

  • Loving Like Jesus: Make No Assumptions

    We make assumptions about who people are, what they need and how we should interact (or not) with them. We follow social conventions that tell us how to behave and who to socialise with and when. But Jesus encourages us to reject assumptions for reality and to allow love to conquer over social conventions. Can we learn to love like Jesus by putting aside our traditional ways of being, and instead reaching out to each other with love and compassion?

  • Loving Like Jesus, Paying Attention

    Loving like Jesus requires us to pay attention, to see people around us and to care for them, even when we have a million reasons not to. Let's learn from Jesus as we see how He interacted with the Samaritan woman at the well. John 4:4-26; 39-42 "Everyone… wants to feel seen and affirmed. Everyone wants to know that their presence matters: that someone knows their name, hears the tremble in their voice and cares for them unconditionally." Quote from: Yolanda Pierce, In My Grandmother’s House: Black Women, Faith, and the Stories We Inherit, Minneapolis: Broadleaf Books, 2021.

  • Loving Like Jesus: Pointing People to Jesus

    Part of loving others like Jesus is telling people about the most amazing love they could ever imagine. Jesus gave up His life because He loves us so much and wanted to save us. Are we willing to step out of our comfort zone to tell people about this amazing love?
