Are we really listening to Jesus? Jesus confronts the crowds and his disciples to challenge them to truly believe what He is saying.

Jesus leads his inner circle of three up to a mountaintop for an amazing, unforgettable experience of God's glory - but it's only fleeting. Peter wants to extend the moment - but Jesus sets his face towards Jerusalem, towards the new and greater Exodus that he will lead God's people into.

The disciples reach a crucial crossroads in their journey with Jesus when he challenges them regarding his identity. Peter correctly identifies him as Messiah - and then Jesus sets out what the path of Messiah and of his followers looks like.

Did you miss this morning? Here's the sermon if you'd like to catch up!

Jesus draws his disciples into his mission - calling them from the stands onto the pitch. He sends them out empowered and yet dependent, expecting some will receive his message but others will reject it. Discipleship isn't a spectator sport.

Listen to Pat walk us through the steps of faith through the story of Jairus and the unamed woman.

Jesus delivers a man from a legion of demons, showing his power. The demons know one day Jesus will judge and destroy them - but this time they are cast into a herd of pigs. But the townspeople are more concerned for the pigs than the people!

Following Jesus isn't plain sailing - as the disciples discover. We should not expect following Jesus to be all plain sailing - but he is with us in the storm, he cares, and he's able to bring us safe through it.

Jesus speaks about the difference between hearing and truly listening: putting into practice.

Each year we take one Sunday to remember and renew our vision as a church. We exist in order to win as many as possible to the good news of Jesus. The talk explains how we plan to pursue this vision in 2019.
