Joel Wade continues through our series on Luke, unpacking the enigmatic parable known as the Shrewd Manager, and how stewardship and generosity are part of what it means to follow Jesus. 

In our series on the Gospel of Luke, Natalie Powell looks at Jesus' warnings about salvation in Luke 13:22-35 and explores what it means to "make every effort to enter through the narrow door" of God's kingdom. 

Joel Wade teaches from John's Gospel about Thomas and how Jesus' resurrection redeems our identities and lives. 

This week, we are reading from John’s Gospel, reminding us of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem while he was fully aware of his impending death. Yet in every step he takes to the cross, he takes in love for those he came to save.

In our series on Lent through Luke, Andy Tilsley looks at Jesus' story of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31), and explores our attitude to money, those in need, and our very real need for relationship with Jesus. 

In our series on Lent through Luke, Natan Mladin looks at Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus the tax collector, and how his call to follow Jesus brims into a life of generosity and gratitude.

In our series on Lent through Luke, Adnan Khan looks at how Jesus calls his disciples to pray with confidence and humility, believing that God is good in character and hears our prayers not due to our merit but his mercy.

This week, we are reading from the Book of Galatians which reminds us of our call to live in the freedom and fruitfulness of God’s Spirit. We are reminded that Jesus has freed us from the curse of sin, and with that freedom we can now serve one another with humility and love.

This week, we are reading from the words of John’s Gospel which remind us that Jesus is the ‘bread of life’, and that he alone has the ability to nourish us at the deepest level. It’s a reminder that our deepest hunger cannot be met by success or self-sufficiency. Nor can it be met by physical things because it’s a spiritual hunger for God.
