A talk that invites us to ask this question - "Jesus what would my life look like and what would I do differently if I learnt the secret of being content because I know you?"

Let’s know our weaknesses and our confidence be in God not our human strength/capability- we stay on assignment, humbled by his presence and his mercy

Many treat weakness and failure as a liability. Postponing living, until everything is resolved. BUT Paul delighted in and boasted in his weaknesses. How did he gain this RADICALLY freeing perspective?

Jesus’ death is the most radical expression of complete trust, dependence and surrender.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ raw humanity is on display. Jesus is agonised and sorrowful. Gethsemane was the place of an incredible battle.

Jesus says I tell you the truth I'm telling you straight I can do nothing on my own. Not a single thing. Without dependence upon the Father, I would make no progress. I am incapable of anything. This isn't just an intellectual idea but a lived-out reality. Perfect synchronisation. The Son doesn’t and indeed the Son can’t—go his own way but stays in perfect step with the Father: “When the Father acts, Jesus acts.

A personal story abou the living faith of mothers and grandmothers.

The three temptations are about our physical needs (satisfaction of the body) and desires (egotistic, materialistic, power) Quoting Scripture is not enough- the Devil can do it too: we need the Holy Spirit to write it in our Heart so that our minds and actions lines up with scriptures.

Fear and love come from two opposing kingdoms. Fear comes from the devil, who would like nothing more than to keep you permanently disconnected and isolated. Love comes from God, who is always working to heal and restore your connection with Himself and other people.

Many of us live with this thought “If I were just stronger, I could do so much more for God.” The Big Little Ones series is about dismantling this LIE. And replacing it with the TRUTH. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
