Here is the link to this week's online message. It's by Ps Chris and continues our theme on unity, but this time on marriage from Genesis 2. It picks up things like, the different name of God in Genesis 2 (vs Genesis 1), how marriage is a living miracle and encourages us in our unity with each other and the Lord (a threefold cord is not easily broken). Be blessed.

Here is the link to this week’s online message. It continues our series on unity, focusing in on families and takes a creative look at the Parable of the Lost Son (in Luke 15). Here, we see a dysfunctional, sibling rivalry between the younger and older brother which can be contrasted with the (surprise!) third brother!

Enjoy!

Giving meaning to the “and”…

The power of prayer - asking.

The joy of prayer - asking.

Matthew 7:7.

1 Corinthians 12:1 “now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.”

Here we have the beginning of three solid chapters on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Two that are more about the “what and how” with the middle one (the love chapter - 1 Cor 13), famously being about the “how and why”. Wonderful stuff. But back to gifts again.

Ps Graham Cooke says , “when the Holy Spirit turns up, He always brings a gift.”

Don’t you love that!?

God is the giver of gifts, but not just for our benefit. The love chapter reminds us that it’s about others. The family of God. The body of Christ. We love them as an expression of our love for God, as we allow God to work through us with various gifts.

Today, be open to the gifts. Be thankful for the gifts. Be loving in everything!

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) “wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!”



If you look up another translation for this verse, e.g. the NIV, you will notice different phrasing. “Wait on the LORD” versus “Wait for the LORD.”

What can be said about this? Firstly, I think that both translations have something to offer. How?

When we wait FOR something, it’s all about expectation. Like the countdown to Christmas. Something good is coming! Hope in Jesus tells us that what is coming is better than what we have right now. We have hope. And with our church name being “Collective Hope”, hope means a lot to us!

By comparison, when we wait ON someone, it’s kind of like what we hear when a waiter is working in a restaurant. They wait on you. They take you to a table. They give you a menu. They tell you what specials are on offer. They take your order being sure to take note of any special food requirements. They bring the food to you… on it goes. They wait on you.

It seems to me that the Christian life is the blend of these two things. We wait for God to move. We wait for God to answer prayer. We wait for God to be God. And we wait on God. We serve Him by serving others in this hurting world. We serve Him with hearts that we want to ensure are pure in motive. Serving to make Him look good, and not just to make us look good.
