A Lesson In Compassion
Self-centredness and self-entitlement are ugly things. Like Jonah, we can easily care more about our own comfort than the salvation of others. We need God to give us his heart for the world.

In the middle of a crisis, most people will try praying. It took being swallowed by a fish for Jonah to finally pray to his God and to remember salvation is found in him alone.
A look back at the previous month, and a look forward to what’s coming up.
This is the word that earliest Christians would repeat to one another – a cry that Jesus would come quickly. That history would be resolved. That all would be well. It’s a good prayer!
The world has too many evil regimes. Too many people are oppressed. Too many suffer at the hands of the powerful. How will this be brought to an end by a rider on a white horse?
On Sunday, as we explored; how to live without fear in the middle of global upheavals, why wars and famines don’t necessarily mean Jesus is just about to come back, and why this is good news!
Jesus has promised that he will return, that history will not finish with a collapse into catastrophe, but in a song of justice and joy. How does this help us live?
We have a number of doctors, nurses and health workers along with counsellors who are part of our congregation. We listened to the ways they understand the interplay between health, wholeness, medicine, counselling, healing and miracles.
We know that being in healthy communities brings us health. What practices build these communities? How can we stop churches becoming unhealthy?
Jesus spent a lot of time responding to sick people. Join us on Sunday, as we explore why healing was so important to his ministry, who he healed and what was understood by those who saw it and what it reveals about Jesus.
