Ryan discusses the fact that our call to abide isn’t a ‘thing’ we go and do, it’s a continuous posture we are being led into. When we live a life marked by abiding with God, we are taken into the very purpose that He has created us for.

As disciples to Jesus, we are called to abide with Him. This is a deep need that He fulfils and it is the place where life is found in abundance. Brittany reminds us that abiding can only happen through Jesus and the gift and power of His grace.

Ryan unpacks the biblical reality that you have been chosen, God has a plan for your life and in following him, God wants to bring His Glory into the world through your life. Abiding with Christ, being renewed by Christ and going with Christ is the walk of a Disciple.

Mark and Liddy sit down with Terry Walling to chat about the transition we are experiencing individually, corporately and globally. Terry brings challenging insights into how to best embrace a transition and what it looks like to move out of one.

Remembering the pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost, Mark encourages us in the hope that we, as the Church, are made an empowered people by His presence. We are made a people who are shown and commissioned to be in relationship with others through Jesus.

When become the ladder between earth and heaven when we submit to having our identity reshaped by Jesus.  This is an ongoing process that sees the false selves we have adopted, renewed to express our true selves in Christ, bringing his Kingdom to those around us.

The risk for many of us in a grey zone is to create comfort zones as places we seek to control our environments – this inhibits our ability to grow in our faith. The invitation, however, is for us to enter greater dependence and hope in Christ and His leading through the chaotic spaces we find ourselves, both individually and as His Church.

This week we examine how our identity is shaped and the hope that comes when we fix our eyes on Jesus. He the one who has made a way for Heaven’s pattern to be renewed in us – reforming an identity shaped and marked by our Heaven and rather than the disorder of the world.

Mark, returning to Genesis 1, highlights that hope originates in heaven. We are shaped by the pattern of heaven through the work of the Spirit here on earth, as He brings form to the unformed chaos.

Mark invites us to consider the struggles in our faith as small crises through which Jesus leads us to walk in greater hope and deeper faith.
