Speaker - Matthew Meads

Matt concludes our Life Together series looking at how our calling as those who follow Jesus - the Light of the World - is to be the light for those in darkness around us.

_______________

Matthew 5 v 14-16

14) You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15) Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16) In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Alice continues with our Life Together series, looking at the metaphor of the Church as our family.

____________

Colossians 3v10-14

10) Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. 11) In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile,circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. 12) Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13) Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14) Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

____________

2 Corinthians 5 v 14 & 17

14) ... Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.

17) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Speaker - Gary Smith

Gary continues with our Life Together series, looking at the way we are all called to be unique parts of the Lord's body.

____________

1 Corinthians 12 v 12-27

12)  Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13)  For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14)  And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

15)  Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16)  And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17)  If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18)  But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19)  If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20)  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21)  The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you!’ 22)  On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23)  and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24)  while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, 25)  so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26)  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.

27)  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Sam continues our "Life Together" series, examining the importance of worshipping together - in so doing we become the Temple for the Lord to inhabit.

____________

Ephesians 2 v 18-22

18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19)  Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20)  built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21)  In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22)  And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Speaker - Ellie Welsh

Ellie takes a look at the question "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attentin to the plank in your own eye?" Jesus asked this question of His followers in the Sermon on the Mount.

____________

Matthew 7 v 1-5

1) ‘Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2)  For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3)  ‘Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4)  How can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,” when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5)  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

James kicks off our new series entitled "Life Together", explaining how participating in community is part of the Lord's plan for His Church.

____________

Ephesians 2 v 18-22 (NIV)

18) For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19) Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20) built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21) In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22) And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians 2 v 18-22 (The Message)

Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father. That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.

Speaker - Alice Meads

For our special Try Church Sunday service, Alice recounts the story that Jesus told that we know as "The Prodigal Son", which reveals the heart of God the Father towards us.

____________

Luke 15: 11- 32

11) Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12) The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13) “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14) After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15) So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16) He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17) “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18) I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19) I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20) So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21) “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22) “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23) Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24) For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

25) “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26) So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27) ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28) “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29) But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30) But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31) “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32) But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
