Looking where we walk is a very sensible thing to do. When you step out of your home into the world, walking somewhere with intention, whether to the car to head out to work or to visit friends, whether to walk the dog or just walk for the sheer sake of it, you walk with intention and you better watch your step so you don't trip, fall or worse.

The same goes for your spiritual walk! The world doesn't walk as Christians do, and what God expects of Christians is not what the world expects. So, listen as Pastor Mike unpicks Ephesians 5.v15-21 for both those who think they've got it together with the Lord and those who maybe feel a little more overwhelmed with that idea...

In today’s podcast, Pastor Mike explores the relationship between the church, who are the people of God, and the world. The call to the Christian is to be LIGHT, but that entails a change in the heart and actions of the believer, that they are different to the world. Different in understanding and behaviours relating to sexual activity, the language we use and views on covetousness that lead to greed. Mike argues that if you accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, as all Christians must, then you are required to walk in the light. There is no other way.

The opening prayer in the podcast involves call and

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit

Amen

One thing I have asked of the Lord, this is what I seek:

that I dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life;

to behold the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His Temple

Call:     Who is it that you seek?

Response: We seek the Lord our God.

Call:     Do you seek Him with all your heart?

Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy.

Call:     Do you seek Him with all your soul?

Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy.

Call:     Do you seek Him with all your mind?

Response: Amen. Lord, have mercy.

Call:     Do you seek Him with all your strength?

Response: Amen. Christ, have mercy.

To whom shall we go?

You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed and have come

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.

Pastor Mike Weaver challenges the worlds assumptions that the way things are is the way they are meant to be. The Christian worldview is not that of the world - which includes the worldviews of the atheist and other religious peoples.

Christians know Jesus as Saviour and Lord, and in that space should be clothed anew, clothed differently from the world. Is the church so clothed today? Listen and understand from God's word the call to be radically different from the world.

Unity is something we hope for and desire as a church but is it possible with all our denominations and differences? God desires and blesses unity in the body but it does not mean uniformity. We are all uniquely made to reflect his image and each of us is given gifts with which to function and serve as part of the body of Christ. Paul reminds us in this passage from Ephesians 4: 'We are

What is possible with Prayer? Do Christians today doubt the viability and the power of prayer to affect change. Pastor Mike considers the power prayer of St. Paul from the second part of chapter 3 of Ephesians. He discovers an imprisoned Paul praying mightily for God to intervene in the powerful name of Jesus and the effecting work of the Holy Spirit to change the lives of Christians and maybe more importantly, the collection of believers who are the Church of Jesus Christ. The power of this prayer is as evident today as when it was written and should be the prayer on the lips and heart of every Christian wishing to see God working in their church in the world in the 21st Century

Paul comes before the Lord in prayer after his introductory remarks to the church in Ephesus. Pastor Mike Weaver sheds light on seven steps that lead the one coming to Christ to beleif, rather than enlightenment. Today many people seek enlightenment, whether from self-analysis using tools and self help guide, or whether in the materials things of thi9s world, but ultimately none can satisfy the desire to know who we truly are. There is a deep need in the church to turn away form personal spiritual growth that finds it roots in the ancient practice of gnosticism, and instead to preach, teach and inspire people to seek God for the truth of who they are. The power to understand the world is best found through the prism of God's power, provided to HIs church, to be exercised in His will.
