January 21, 2025 Jesus, the one who calls.
Jesus steps down from his mountaintop experience of glory into the chaos of
scribes, crowd, demonic oppression, and most importantly, the other
disciples’ failure to represent Him in their battle with evil. They have
not remembered what they have been taught. They have not been able to
manage without him, and it shows us (and it showed Jesus) quite how far
they still have to go, in their journey as His disciples.
Commentators call this section of Mark’s gospel ‘a study of discipleship,'
and as we continue to follow Him in our response to great need in our city,
this passage could not be more timely. In it, we see Jesus' call be
undermined as ours will always be too; we see Jesus' authentic frustration
about that, and yet His doubling-down in commitment to His mission; and we
see how it is that He keeps going to fulfill what He has been called to.
For any of us asking ‘where do we go from here,’ let’s look again at Jesus'
example, and let Him remind us what it looks like to follow Him.

January 14, 2025 Jesus, the glory of God.
The transfiguration is a rare moment of respite and balm for both the
disciples, and Jesus, in the middle of the struggles of ministry. Despite
the teaching, the healing, the deliverance and the miracles, Jesus is still
opposed, threatened and misunderstood. Even his closest friends don’t
really get it. And soon, he will make it to Jerusalem where suffering and
execution await.
But here, on the mountain, Jesus is glorified. It is a moment of glory and
wonder: the cloud of God’s presence enveloping all who witness it. It must
have been wonderful to experience! If Jesus needed such a moment of respite
from the brokenness of the world, how much more do we?
This week in Los Angeles has been a terrible reminder of the chaos of our
world. But, thanks to Jesus, his glory and the presence of God is available
to us all the time. This talk is a call to worship the divine Son of God
and enter into his presence. Especially in times of trouble, there is no
better place for us to be. In his presence, we are transformed - our
motives, our prayers, our thoughts, and our desires are all aligned with
his - and we are best able to be his people to a world in need.

January 06, 2025 Jesus, the Christ.
As we kick off the new year, we continue our series in Mark’s gospel. For
many, this time of year is about making new resolutions. Jesus, though,
comes to bring something greater than anything human resolve will ever
accomplish. He knows our fundamental need is not a material one, but a
spiritual one. So, he warns that whilst we may gain the whole world through
our human endeavors, we can still lose our soul. Only he can achieve for us
the life free from the power of sin that we so fundamentally need. And, he
bids us give our whole self to him, so we can rise with him to the fullness
of a life, no longer controlled by sin, which we most crave.
So, let us make this our one resolution for this, and every coming year: to
be people who give up themselves to Jesus, to take up our cross and follow.
This is where real life is to be found.

December 23, 2024 Advent 2024: Glory.
This week, we take a closer look at one of the most well-known parts of the
Christmas story: the angels appearing to the shepherds. Who were the
shepherds, and how can we relate to them? What is God’s glory, how is it
used throughout the Bible, and how can we live Into our identity as image
(glory)-bearers of God?

December 10, 2024 Advent 2024: Christmas Joy.
For as long as our history is traceable, we homo sapiens have been
progressing, and by all accounts we’re set to hit warp speed on all that
with the dawn of AI. But the Christian joy that is celebrated at Christmas
is not about progress, it’s about a different kind of rescue altogether.
The wisdom of God stands totally outside of all our ideas of progress and
advancement (which we’d be fools to put too much faith in, if we look lack
in earnest at our past) What Jesus came to do was to set us right on a
cosmic level - forever, and completely. And what the spirit is here for, is
our daily access to Him, while we wait for the life we were always made
for.
