We live in a world that is remarkably good at reminding us what we don’t have. There is
always something more to want. Perhaps a little more money, more security, a better
experience, a different outcome. Even when we are quite happy with our lives, comparison
can quietly whispers, “If only…”
This Sunday we are continuing our series Living with Jesus: Practices That Shape Us by
looking at contentment.
Paul writes, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Notice those words: I
have learned. Contentment isn& #39;t something Paul simply possessed. It was something he
learned through seasons of plenty and seasons of need, through circumstances that changed
and circumstances that didn& #39;t.
And perhaps contentment isn& #39;t about learning to say, “I have everything I want.” Perhaps it is
learning to say, “I have Christ with me and today, that is enough.”
So this week, rather than asking, “What do I need to be satisfied with?”, I& #39;m wondering if there
is a better question: Where is God enough?
Where am I tempted to believe that I need something more before I can have peace? Where
am I comparing my life with someone else& #39;s? And where might Jesus be inviting me simply to
receive today as a gift?
Come join us Sunday as we explore what it might mean to live with open hands, that are
grateful for what God gives, trusting God with what we don& #39;t have, and discovering that Christ
is with us in every circumstance.

What are you carrying?
Perhaps a worry about someone you love or something you can't fix? Maybe a decision you don't know how to make or a disappointment you haven't quite let go of? Perhaps simply the weight of an ordinary week.
We often think of prayer as something we do when we have a quiet moment, or when things have become serious enough that we know we ought to pray. But what if prayer is something more ordinary than that? What if prayer is learning to carry our lives with God?
Paul writes to the Philippians:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Notice that Paul doesn't tell us to pretend that nothing is wrong. He doesn't say we shouldn't have worries or concerns. He says: bring them. Bring the things that trouble you. Bring the things you don't understand. Bring the things you wish were different.
And then the promise is not necessarily that our circumstances will change, but that “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
This Sunday, as we continue our series Living with Jesus: Practices That Shape Us, we'll look at prayer, not simply as something we do, but as a way of learning to live with God in the midst of ordinary life.
Perhaps the question for this week isn't, “How much am I praying?”Perhaps it is simply:
What am I carrying that I could bring to God?
You are welcome to join us at 10.30

Living With Jesus: Remembering God’s Goodness
This Sunday we’re continuing our Living With Jesus series by looking at gratitude through Paul’s words in Philippians 1:3–8. where Paul writes, “I thank my God every time I remember you.” And he writes those words not from the comforts of home or from a productive mission field, but from prison.
Gratitude, then, isn’t pretending that everything is good or ignoring the difficult things in our lives. It is learning to notice that difficulty is not the whole story. There is still grace. There is still goodness. God is still present. And perhaps the reverse is true, when all seems well and secure we are less likely to be grateful or need to see grace or know God?
Gratitude begins with attention: how appropriate then, that noticing what God has done was something we practised during this last week!
What fills our memories? Often its the disappointments, the things that went wrong or whatever is still missing?
This week at TBC we’ll explore what happens when we begin looking for God’s fingerprints in the ordinary places, in kindness, friendship, laughter, generosity, answered prayer, and the people who show up when we need them.
And we’ll try a very simple practice together:
One gift, one person, one place where you saw God present.
Because what we notice shapes us. Come join us this Sunday as we learn to remember God’s goodness, not with rose-coloured glasses, but with eyes trained to see grace.
There is room for you at TBC this Sunday,10.30.

From the Pastor’s Desk
Over the summer, we prayed our way through the Psalms with Jesus and we discovered that we can bring the whole of our lives to God. Our joy, our sorrow, our anger, our questions and our gratitude all belong before God.
This fall, we’re going to take another step and ask a slightly different question:
What is shaping us?
N. T. Wright puts it rather simply:
“You become like what you worship.”
That’s a thought worth sitting with.
Because whether we realize it or not, what we give our attention to, what we love, what we practise and what we worship is shaping the people we are becoming.
So, in our new series, Living With Jesus, we’ll be spending some time in Paul’s letter to the Philippians and exploring some of the ordinary practices through which Jesus shapes his people ... gratitude, humility, prayer, contentment, generosity and encouragement.
These aren't things we do to make God love us. God is already doing that. Rather, they are ways of making room for that work, ways of learning to live with Jesus so that, little by little, we become more like him.
And perhaps that is what discipleship is really about.
Not simply knowing more about Jesus, but becoming more like Jesus.
And as Jesus shapes us, perhaps something else happens too. What we receive from him begins to overflow into the lives of the people around us.
So this fall, we'll be asking:
What is shaping me?
How is Jesus forming me?
And what might his life in me begin to offer to others?
We’d love to have you join us at TBC as we explore what it means to live with Jesus. We start at 10.30

From the Pastor’s Desk:

For the past few weeks at TBC we've been Praying the Psalms with Jesus and learning to bring the whole of life to God in prayer: our joys, our questions, our grief, our anger, our wonder and our praise.
This Sunday we turn the question around a little.
What About the Church?
As part of our final Alpha Taster, we'll hear Nicky Gumbel describe the church with five simple words: Friends. Family. Home. Jesus. Love.
What do you think of when you hear the word church?
For some, it brings warm memories of friendship and belonging. For others, perhaps not. Some may have grown up in church; others may have questions about faith, Jesus or whether church has anything to say to their lives today.
That's one of the things I appreciate about Alpha. It creates space to explore those questions together, without needing to have all the answers.
We've been exploring Alpha as a church over the summer, and this Sunday we'll begin to listen and discern together about whether it is the right time and place for us to offer a full Alpha course. There is no pressure to decide immediately. Alpha will still be there next year. The question is simply: might this be something God is inviting us to do, and who might we invite to explore it with us?
We'll also share Communion together, remembering that the Christian life is not simply about our individual relationship with God, but about becoming a people who follow Jesus together.
Whether church is very familiar to you, something you've stepped away from, or something you've never really explored

From the Pastor’s Desk:
At TBC, we’ve spent a good part of the summer praying the Psalms with Jesus. We’ve tried not simply to learn more about prayer, but to actually practise it... learning to meditate, to delight, to remain rooted, to notice what Jesus does, and to bring our distress and even our anger honestly before God.
It’s been quite a journey. Some parts have felt familiar; others have been uncomfortable and challenging. But I hope we’ve begun to discover that all of who we are can come before God. We don’t need to curate our lives or our feelings. It all belongs before Him.
And with that new honesty, we come to Psalm 103, which begins with David telling himself to remember who God is and what God has done.
But I wonder: could it be that this celebrated king wasn’t actually feeling so wonderful? Could it be that David needs to remind himself of God’s goodness precisely because, in this moment, it doesn’t feel so real?
Perhaps we can identify with that.
Sometimes faith is remembering what is true when we don’t presently feel it.
The Psalms have given us a vocabulary for prayer, but they also give us practices for living with God. This Sunday, we’ll explore the practice of remembering.
Join us at 10:30 as we pray Psalm 103 with Jesus.
