A Different kind Of Society: A Society Of Radical Love – 21st Of June 2026
Rome glorified vengeance; we are called to glorify sacrificial love.
Rome glorified vengeance; we are called to glorify sacrificial love.
In the heart of the Roman Empire—where power, honour, social climbing, and vengeance defined the culture—Paul calls the church to display a radically different society shaped by mercy, humility, sacrifice, and love. The church becomes an alternative society only when shaped by God’s mercy rather than Rome’s patterns.
The Bible is clear – life will not continue as it is forever.
There will be a moment when Jesus will return, when all people realise that he has always been the King, and when we all will be judged.
That truth is a comfort and a challenge.
God has not left us to try and live this work in our own strength. He fills his children with his Spirit. It changes everything.
Creeds were never designed to be just for the brainy types, or those happy to ‘go deeper’. They were and are designed to help us live differently. The Creed concludes with the life of the church — forgiven, resurrected, and awaiting glory. It’s about how we live together in this life while we wait for the next life to come.
The heart of our faith is a simple phrase that changes everything: Jesus is Lord.
The Bible consistently reminds us that God the Creator is the one who calls us his children.
Can these statements help us today? Why is it important that we start with ‘We Believe’ rather than ‘I feel’?
Jesus is alive!
Do you remember seeing the Christian wristbands stamped with WWJD: What Would Jesus Do.
I think some people felt the answer would have been: NOT THAT.
But what if doing what Jesus did is really positive? What might that look like?
