The story of Jesus intersects our lives with the words; “Come, follow me,”. Jesus was more than a teacher, healer or prophet. Jesus is the way. The way to know God and to be part of his kingdom. We get to see how this first worked through the lives of his first followers. So let’s experience this call to follow through the eyes and actions of Peter the fisherman. The following eight weeks will ignite your faith for a life of kingdom living.

Impressed by the faithfulness of the Thessalonians in the face of persecution, Paul wrote to encourage the Christians in that community with the goal that they would continue to grow in godliness and be motivated by their hope in the ultimate return of Jesus Christ.

As we go through a life full of questions and uncertainties, Paul offers the hope of Christ’s return as an answer that provides us with comfort in the midst of questions and reminds us of the joy that is to come.

Jesus is the source of our true hope. Without him, it’s Hopeless.

Luke’s Gospel is full of Stories of Jesus at meals, challenging our contemporary understanding and value of Hospitality. At the centre of all of these is the Table. A place of Grace…. promise even Salvation.

How can we define love? We have countless examples of what love does, but what is love?

How can we navigate a world with increasing layers of complexity and shifting perspectives on truth, while keeping the door open for conversation about Jesus?
