John 2:1-22
In the two events of this passage we see two different reactions to Jesus, and where each one leads: Invitation or Indignation.
John the Witness
John 1: 19-34
First century Jews were desperate for God to send a saviour. God did just that... but not everyone recognised him. John did, and testified to the imminent arrival ... of God himself.
Light & Life
John 1:1-18
Jesus is the light that illuminates who God really is, who we really are, and what the world really looks like. It is sometimes difficult and hard to accept, but those who choose light and reject darkness will find life.
Musings on Micah 6:8
Micah 6:8
Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.
The Road to Reconciliation
2 Corinthians 12:14-13:14
As Paul closes this letter to the wayward church at Corinth, he knows they may still be wavering between himself and the false apostles who have misled them. So he challenges them, with four vital pastoral questions:
What’s true?
What’s real?
Where are we heading?
What’s important?
As we seek to get in tune with God’s cosmic plan for reconciliation, we could do worse than ask ourselves the same questions.
Power Made in Perfect Weakness
2 Corinthians 11:16-12:13
Exploring the hard, embarrassing work of reconciliation, and the humility of the cross.
Integrity, Humility, and Godly Jealousy
2 Corinthians 10:1-11:15
Paul has been defending his ministry, not out of self-interest, but out of love for the church. His leadership, like that of Christ whom he imitates, is humble and gentle, but there are warnings mixed into his message.
Reconciliation Through Generosity
2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15
Generosity reconciles churches to churches, and people to God. From the passage and from personal experience, Morag shares the joy of giving and being generous.
Prove it! (Grief, Grace, Generosity & Gathering)
2 Corinthians 7:8-8:15
Paul challenges the believer to prove in real terms what we believe theoretically. He cites what we may see as 4 'proofs': Grief, grace, generosity, & gathering.
Your Walk Talks
2 Corinthians 6:3-7:7
What does Paul have in mind when he tells the Corinthians not to be 'unequally yoked with unbelievers'? The point, it turns out, is that Paul is worried about the way the Corinthians are living out the Gospel. He raises a serious challenge: choose between the original Gospel he gave them, and come away from their new teachers and their false gospel.
