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!
