“They say Aslan is on the move—perhaps has already landed."

And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it has some enormous meaning—either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again. It was like that now. At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer.”

God created all things good and yet sin has warped the original goodness of creation. God calls his church to redeem what is broken in the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ. But God's call is not just to restore a people to His kingdom but to restore all of creation. In this message, we will explore how God calls us to redeem structural sin that exists around us.

In this message we will explore how the Apostle Paul calls us to remain in the circumstances where God has called us because we are bought with a price and the time is short. In a globalized mobile society it is easy to become discontent with where God has placed us in his plan. How does finding our identity in Christ affecting the decisions we make to change jobs, locations, circumstances?

We are called by God to not make a name for ourselves because God already knows our name. We will explore how the Tower Of Babel (Genesis 11)teaches us the dangers of being motivated to make a name for ourselves. But God also created us to impact and influence the people around us. Jesus' call to die to ourselves teaches us that even our power must be used in service to God and others.

We are called to abide in Jesus throughout our day. But the busyness of life, the distractions of our world, and our disconnection between our work and our faith keep us from abiding in Jesus. In this message, we will explore John 15:1-11 and Jesus' command for us to abide in him.
