This week Caroline talks to us about the examples of other people and our community. How can their journeys inspire us in our journey with God.
On A Journey With Jesus
To be a Pilgrim – Finding the truths that shape your life
Ruth Kenward shares on the journeys and retreats of some ancient Irish saints. How did their retreat from the world shape them for profound impact on their return to their locality and influence many others further afield. How you could retreat so that you can advance?
This is the third in our Journeys with God series
Deliberate Journeys – When Jesus Calls You To An Adventure
Dave Roberts shares in the second of our new series on Journeys with Jesus. The focus is on John 4:4 and Jesus willingness to go to Samaria with all risk to his reputation that might involve as he travels almost to the door of a competing temple and starts the mission that would go to the nations, through a woman. Discover how this impacts our understanding of mission and witness today.
On a Journey with God – Sermon Series
This 8 week series seeks to help us understand the journey of faith and our own personal experience of it. What did the biblical journeys mean then and what do they mean now for us as followers of Jesus.
In Ecclesiastical imagery and symbol, the ship is the picture of the pilgrim church on earth. The best ship example would be the Irish coracle, in which monks set out, letting the wind take them and wherever they landed, they spoke to the people about Jesus.
The church was never intended to be static, but to move according to the wind of the Holy Spirit. The church is founded on the sure foundations of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, revealed in scripture. However, each generation seeks to be authentic to those foundations in the circumstances it finds itself in.
The intention of looking at the topic of journeys is to encourage and inspire ourselves as individuals and community to respond to ‘such a time as this’.
