Talk is cheap! It’s easy to say we have faith in Jesus without putting that faith into action. The book of James is a ‘how to’ manual sharing wisdom to help us live life the way Jesus is calling us to. Let’s put our faith to work!
Catch up with the 2018 Highgrove Vision Evening held on Tuesday 9 October.
In the last moments of his life, Joshua reaffirms his total devotion to God by making this declaration to Israel, “as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Josh 24:15; see also Joshua 1:7). We see in Joshua a picture of God who is worthy of our all. How can we live a radically devoted life? What does it look like to choose God and not idols?
We read in the book of Joshua that “Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled” (Joshua 21:45). How do we trust God’s promises in our lives? What difference does it make to the way in which we live?
The Israelites developed a rhythm of commitment and recommitment to God. Renewed commitment to God brought blessing to Israel, as surely as disobedience brought curses. What opportunities do we have to renew our commitment to God’s purposes in the world?
Joshua 2: Where does trust in God and the need for for us to be active intersect?
God told Joshua to be strong and courageous. This courage was actually rooted in his obedience to God. And in Jesus we see this courageous obedience that delivers the promises of God to his people. It’s God’s promises and presence fuels our courage and strength.
Encountering truth and encountering forgiveness go hand in hand. Where does this forgiveness come from and what does it mean for us?
John 4 - what does it mean to be filled? We talk about being filled with the Holy Spirit, that precious living water, but what does it mean? How was the Holy Spirit significant in this encounter with the Samaritan woman? How can we be daily filled by Him, and what could that look like?
Jesus said 'you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free'. What truths did Jesus teach, how did it affect other person in that encounter? How should they affect us?
Highgrove and Trinity College's Jamie Davies helps us to take a step back and look at how we can read John's gospel well.
How do we build a church of both welcome and inclusion for people of all backgrounds? Catch up with our talk from Sunday.
God loves a cheerful giver. How can we use money in ways that results in thanksgiving to God?
