In the first talk of our new series, Sarah looks at how we can find God in a culture that denies His existence, by paying close attention to Him.
In this talk, Raph looks at the story of the prodigal son, and the parallels it can have with our own lives. In a culture that champions self-sufficiency, it can be tempting to try and prove our worth to God. But our Heavenly Father has made us to find our belonging and our worth in His unconditional love.
The choices we make, and the battles we face.
This series will help us explore Jesus’ journey to the cross in the lead up to Easter, and to understand the revolutionary power of His resurrection in our lives. Jesus is continually inviting us to lay down our lives, in order to fully receive the new life He offers us. And this new life is one of hope, power, transformation, and a love that never gives up. Easter changes everything!
The letter of 1 Peter creates a picture of who we are personally and collectively: a people of God alive with His hope, purpose and strength. Each talk will look at a different aspect of our identity and purpose as God’s children, and how we have been brought into a new family, a new identity and a new, living hope.
