In answer to the question, “Who are you wearing?”, Peter takes us to Paul in Romans 13, who tells us to clothes ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. With a little help from Eugene Peterson and a dinner offer, Peter unpacks what this can look like this Christmas season.

This week, Peter highlights how God invites us to look to biblical heroes like Joshua and Caleb, who lifted their eyes in the face of great opposition and held faith in a God who is far less concerned by our circumstances than we are.

The lenses through which we view struggles, challenges and failure are dictated by our level of individualism and our life experiences. Through stories of Eve then Jesus in the wilderness, we’re encouraged to share God’s lens as to how He sees us and His people.

As well as Abiding in Jesus and Becoming like Jesus, we are invited in Commissioning to live for Jesus. John focuses on the privilege of being elected and that as we do the connecting, God will do the perfecting.

Red’s passion for discipleship draws us to be with Jesus, become like Jesus and do what Jesus did. Pete encourages us through John 15 to take up life-giving rhythms that become transforming patterns and Spirit-led gatherings that bring God’s power and renewal.

This week, Brittany shares a challenge and an opportunity for each of us to return to the rhythm of the early church - to be formed and shaped by Holy Spirit into a remnant people, just as God has done throughout histroy to bring renewal to the church and spread the Gospel throughout the world.

We love to take steps towards improvement, but how often do our steps line up with God's? Dave shares how intimacy with God can guide us to take kingdom-building steps in His power and authority.

God's call to contend for the Kingdom starts with our conversations with others. Pete shares his heart on this but also the invitation for renewal to those being called to speak up, speak less and to transform our self-talk and thought life.

We are week 2 into our new sermon series: New Wine/ Contending for Renewal. If we are to contend for renewal, we are contending for transformation. Bjorn Irani speaks about when we contend and create a space for God to transform our hearts in all areas of our lives the head follows, enabling us to have a deeper knowledge of God's work in our lives.
