Through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection we are reconciled to God, made free to be the person that God created us to be, and we live into it by embracing a positive culture of love, mercy and consideration.
We are called to focus on Jesus – not the battles or the storms of life. Nothing is too big or too rough for God.
The parable of the sower is not about us and our shortfalls but on the generosity of our Maker – the Prolific Sower.
“Jesus Christ the Lamb of God”: These are such familiar words. We sing them almost every Sunday – but do we really understand what they mean or have they just become another Christian cliché for us?
True Christianity is not transactional but transformational. It is not a series of prescribed actions intended to please God, but the formation of a culture of grace and other-centred love.
