Seeking and Sharing the Fullness of Life
Sermons on Formation
Jesus leads us through the confusion of transition times, into a new space with hugely expanded horizons and lives made meaningful in a global way.
Jesus calls us to follow his lead in bringing healing, hope and positive leadership to others, and not to be too worried about anxious and vexatious criticism.
Acknowledging and appreciating Jesus is relatively easy, but we find it much more difficult to transform our lives in conformity with his teaching.
Jesus models for us a willingness to listen, learn and grow rather than a domineering certainty that insists on knowing who’s right and who’s wrong.
The task of being changed into what God calls us to be involves a radical break with the established norms of our world.
Jesus calls us to choose between the old bread of hostility and death and the new bread of compassion and life.
