Make No Assumptions
| Loving like Jesus / 7 |
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? Read more

Paying Attention
| Loving like Jesus / 6 |
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. Read more

Pointing People to Jesus
| Loving like Jesus / 5 |
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? John 3:1-21 Galatians 2:20 Romans 12:2

Making a difference
| Loving like Jesus / 3 |
As we continue in our series of looking at the gospel of John while asking the question: How do we love others as Jesus does, we consider the importance of making a difference, even in small ways to those around us. How can you make a difference in your neighbourhood, friendship groups or family this week?

Truly Seeing People As They Are
| Loving like Jesus / 2 |

How can we learn to see people as they truly are, looking beyond the surface of initial impressions. Read more

The Power and Influence of the Holy Spirit - Pentecost 2021
It’s Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit came to rest upon the disciples with the sound of rushing wind and tongues of fire. We may not hear the wind or see the fire, but the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in our hearts too, if we choose to allow God into our lives. Pause for a moment as we reflect on the power and the influence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the disciples, and in our lives too. Read more
