TEACHING SERIES: And, Breathe TITLE: Session 3: You’re Home BY: Sarah Auger DATE: 30 January 2022 PASSAGE: Romans (Chapter 8, verses 5 to 15) “If God was small enough to be comprehended, he would not be big enough to be worshipped.” (Imad Shehadeh) This is a series all about the Holy Spirit. Who, or what, is the Holy Spirit? The bible is mainly written in Hebrew (Old Testament) and in Greek (New Testament). Each of these languages has one word (Hebrew – ruach; Greek – pneuma) that is used for three different English words – Spirit, breath and wind. And so, the way the bible describes the Holy Spirit can be both confusing and illuminated by these ideas…the wind that powers the sails, and the breath that gives life. So, what role does the Holy Spirit play in the life of Christians? This series takes a deep dive in who the Holy Spirit is and the difference he makes in our lives. It’s time to breathe again. “The Lord of hosts is with us. He’s not watching us move through this stream of history, he’s actually nav

TEACHING SERIES: Jesus TITLE: Session 5: The Message BY: Nathanael Ballew DATE: 24 Oct 2021 EXCERPT: The message of Jesus is one full of hope and love, and yet always results in lasting fruit. The more we understand the hope and love that Jesus offers, the more change it will always produce. If we aren’t seeing the fruit, then maybe we need to understand the message even more. If our default position is to find fault in others before we see any fault in ourselves, then Jesus has something to say! The message of Jesus always results in change….starting with me.

TEACHING SERIES: Jesus TITLE: Session 4: The Belonging BY: Sarah Auger DATE: 10 Oct 2021 EXCERPT: We live in a tribal world, in which we like to pigeonhole people as ‘them’ and ‘us’. What if Jesus offers a belonging that includes those we exclude? What if we viewed people through the lens of 5:31? What if we’re all ‘sick’ and in need of the cure? What if the insiders are actually the outsiders?! SUMMARY TEACHING POINT: Jesus came for everyone – especially those people who know they aren’t good enough. BIBLE OUTLINE Luke 5:1-11 – The sinner (v8) | Peter Luke 5:12-16 – The unclean (v12) | The unnamed leper Luke 5:17-26 – The carers and cared for | The Paralysed man Luke 5:27-32 – The traitor (v27) | Levi the Tax Collector Luke 5:33-6:11 – The rulebreakers (v33 and v2) | Not fasting & sabbath breakers Luke 6:12-16 – The unlikely choices

TEACHING SERIES: Jesus TITLE: Session 2: The Manifesto BY: Tim Chilvers DATE: 26 Sep 2021 EXCERPT: Sadly, the church hasn’t always been the best window to be able to see Jesus. And it can be tempting to ignore him as a result of his followers. But as the old saying goes – don’t judge an original classic song on the basis of dodgy cover versions! Instead, remind yourself just how good the original really is. And he really is that good.
