As Christians, we are called to love God and to love our neighbours but who are our neighbours? The Good Samaritan is a parable which answers this question well but also paints an incredible picture of the redeeming work which God is doing in the life of those who believe in Him. All of this informs us how we are loved by God to love each other and show mercy to the suffering.

We were not meant to live out our Christian life alone, instead, God has made us alive in Him to live in close relationship with other Christian believers in such a way that others desire the healthy relationship that we have, both in Christ and with each other.

God is concerned with both your inner and outer life. As Christians, we are made clean from the inside out when we accept Christ's finsihed work on the Cross.

When we realize that we are to image our Creator we can begin to gain an understanding of both our value and purpose. Sin had separated us from this reality and only through Christ can this be restored. What an incredible opportunity we have to be continually reminded that we belong to God and that He desires to use us to reflect Him to a lost and broken world.

Too often Christians view Salvation as the final and end event for those who follow Christ however as believers we have been invited into much more than this. Salvation is the beginning of God's desire to make a people for Himself, a people who are Like Christ.

God is not only 'up there' keeping the universe going but He is also involved with each of us individually. God Himself initiates contact with His creation and seeks to restore relationship with us no matter how often we hide from Him, He always seeks us.

Job endures a hardship which most of us couldn't identify with. Not only did he endure suffering but it wasn't even his fault. This raises a few questions which we address in this sermon.

How did God encourage Abraham when he doubted God's promise? The answer isn't as straight forward as you would think.

When we surrender ultimate control of the circumstances of our life to God, we are then able to be content regardless of the circumstances we walk through.

Living a life of surrender can be difficult when we experience suffering or loss of any description. However, it can be through these times that we experience what it's like to have Jesus walk with us in a profoundly comforting way.
