A life full of vitality comes when we are giving of ourselves- when we are letting go so others can hold on.

Jesus is a breath of fresh air in a stale room. And he still is. Breath deep his love, his light, his freedom. And exhale all that is trying to rob you. Leave it behind. And perhaps the journey of freedom begins simply by believing you can be more. By being amazed at this Jesus who speaks into all of our lives with an authority that can only come form someone who loves us and believes in us.

What if storms are about waking us up. And with a bit of irony, sometimes they wake us up to the idea, that we can rest. Rest knowing that while all hell breaks loose around us, this doesn’t have to be our end. But only a new beginning. And Jesus has it right, darkness is for sleeping.

Is the story of Noah a story of destruction or of rescue-that depends on who is telling it. Is your life a life of destruction or of rescue, once again that depends on who is telling it.

Is it possible that before we can become more than we were, we need to at least name what we are leaving? Otherwise how else can we know we have left it?

What are we to do with an ancient tale about 3 men who are thrown into a fire but don't die? Is it true, did it happen-or are those the wrong questions.

When we pray for God to take a burden that seems too big for us to carry, sometimes he says this one you must bear, but not alone. And when God finally shows up to help us in our distress, when I seem to need His presence the most, he looks an awful lot like one of you.

What if you believed that you could make the world a better place. How would that change the way you see and interact with strangers, your neighbors, your co workers, your family
And what if you weren’t the only one If there were others who shared this conviction - that God’s love for us desires to produce love in us and not just in us....but through us. Imagine all the great things we could do fuelled by the conviction that this is part of why we exist.
Belief is not just about knowing God, but joining God, It’s not just about trusting that God is at work in our world but believing that we can be at work in His, partnering with what he is already up to.
Our motivation to meet is outmatched by our motivation to matter…making a difference in our communities, our world.
A fresh expression of serving, loving, engaging. Part of a growing faith community, that is following Jesus wherever he goes, sharing his message of hope and love and extending his peace in our world.
