Session 1 from the Angela Kemm Weekend - Friday

It's the start of our 'Hunger Season' as a church together and in this preach Paul helps us look at gaining a biblical perspective on what it means to really hunger after God.

Aled reminds us that our salvation is not initiated by us, that we are saved by the Spirit. We are spiritually dead, spiritually cut off until the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to us. We are now united to the Spirit and we are to keep in step with the Spirit, to fully rely on Him.

God created a perfect world with no poverty, yet after sin came in, poverty soon followed, and God has been especially concerned about the poor ever since. Do you think His followers should be too? Do you think this is for all Christians or just some of us?

The biggest problem that faces humanity is death. It’s the one thing that affects every single one of us, both physical death and the death of our hopes and dreams. Humans have tried all sorts of ways to deal with the problem of death, but only the resurrection of Jesus offers a real solution, a solution based not on wishful thinking but on a historical fact. Because Jesus has been raised from the dead, we too can be raised from the dead. But far more than that, because Jesus has been raised from the dead, we can have true life right now.

We are salt and light. It’s part of our new identity as Christians, part of our DNA. We are called to bring God’s kingdom flavour and light into everyday living, through how we live, what we say and the things we do. As we do this we make a difference, extending God’s kingdom and brining glory to his name.

God wants us to fight for the powerless, the unclean and those facing both literal and spiritual death. Jon reminds us how Jesus extends the kingdom to unexpected people and places and how we are called to do the same.
