Part 3: Waypoints - Giving

Why Waypoints? What are they? How can they help us?

"Giving carries Kingdom Mercy to Community..."

Starting with Matthew 6:1-4, Jonny & Sarah look at what the bible teaches us about giving, and how this fits in to the theme of waypoints.

Formed by Romans chapter twelve, 2024 will be an opportunity for us to explore pathways and practices shaping our Soul Path. In our commitment to love God, ourselves, and others, we will adventure in what it means to know Jesus, be with Jesus, imitate Jesus, and communicate Jesus.

A year dedicated to unpacking a way to be, ahead of a thing to do.

Part 4: Bible - 'People Of God'

The Bible reflects who we are becoming. How do we move it from information to transformation? How does Holy Spirit help us?

What is the identity change? The New nature? How do I ‘put it on’ and throw off the old sinful nature?

They talk about learning online, socials and following influencers, versus studying in real time and place with real people. So appropriate in the time and place we are living in.

Part 3: Bible - 'Character Of God'

How does the Bible help us to know God’s character?

Jonny & Sarah continue looking at the subject of the Bible.

This is like a hugeee subject, and this week they are looking at what the Bible says about the Character Of God.

He is God. He has always existed. He existed before and

He is Life. Life is found and sustained in Him. Nothing

He is Creator. He creates with a word. He speaks and it

He is relational, and wants us to know our identity,

He is fully God and fully Human, came to earth, a God
