What role does the law in the bible have?The law helps us understand the nature of God. The law Helps us understand that we are in covenant relationship with God. The law- it's a demand on you for how you are to live. The gospel is a deliverance for you on how you are delivered from how you should live under the law.The law shows us our need for the gospel.The law illuminates sin but is powerless to eliminate sin. The law accuses us, the gospel acquits us.We have Jesus and it is only by living in him, embracing what he is doing in us that we don't live in condemnation but are free because of the cross.

Chris aims to write and direct films that express his Christian faith in a way that's accessible to everyone, no matter what their worldview or faith.

So many gems of wisdom shared by George Savvides this morning. Here are some of them. What was the one that spoke most to you?- Humility come before honour. - Displace your own self agenda and own pursuit of success and pursue God's agenda.- Find your identity in Christ, not in your assignment. - The importance of valuing everyone in your team... So that that talent can contribute to the overall success of the organisation.- When work has meaning and purpose it becomes our vocation....- What does it mean to be a good follower?holding on to the hand of the one that called us. Staying centred on the call given. - Don't lose the power of a grateful heart. - 2 copper coins worth more than gold.... It's not the material cost that matters, it's the cost to the giver. Gods economy is different. The paradox of the economy of God.

Launching Vision Builders for 2016, Ps Carl shares an encouragement out of Nehemiah 4 and the call to Not Give Up.

Ps Mandy shares an encouraging Mother's Day message that draws on the amazing stories and example of many mother's including the mother of Jesus, Mary.

Matt 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money"

Serving one another is to be a natural expression of God's love but it is also a choice we need to make.

Discovering your giftings is something we can all be proactive about as we live out our God given call. Ps Carl and the team recently back from India share some practical insights into how you discover, learn about and begin operating in some of the spiritual gifts.
