    173: 04-05-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 35) The Only Way to Enter God's Kingdom
    May 3 2025

    Jesus proclaimed: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6). God had said that there is only one way for us to gain salvation – hence the description of the narrow gate. The philosophies and culture of society continue to broaden the wider gate by suggesting new ways that humanity can accept as alternatives to God’s one way of salvation. Jesus said only a few would find the right way. Our task in the Missio Dei (God’s mission plan) is to help a few more find Jesus as their way. Matthew 7:13-14 and John 14:1-6

    Apr 19 2025
    The greatest historical event of all time is recorded in the gospel of John, chapter 20. This chapter records eye witness accounts of Jesus rising from the dead as the first fruits of God's saving grace to us. In this resurrection story the four actions: 'seeing, moving, believing, and belonging' are central to that day in history, as well as today. Today we see God's power working in our lives; we go and tell others the good news; we believe what the first witnesses proclaimed; and through this faith we belong to God's family. John 20:1-18

    170: 13-04-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 33) The Golden Rule That Changed the World
    Apr 12 2025
    This message explores the world-changing power of Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:12 — “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.” Far from being a generic moral slogan, the Golden Rule revolutionised the ancient world by introducing empathy, mercy, and the equal worth of every human being. In a society where dignity belonged only to the powerful, Jesus taught that even the poor, sick, and abandoned mattered — not because of status, but because they bear the image of God. This radical idea helped shape human rights, justice, and compassion in Western civilisation, influencing everything from abolition movements to public healthcare. But this isn’t just history — it’s a calling. For Christians, the Golden Rule is not lived out by human effort but by the power of the Holy Spirit, in response to God’s grace, and with the goal of pleasing God. When we live this out — especially in hard situations — we offer the world a window into the heart of God. This message looks at three ways the Spirit can unleash the Golden Rule in our lives to bring real transformation this week. Matthew 7:12

    169: 06-04-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 32) Partnership in Prayer
    Apr 5 2025

    Prayer is more than just getting what we want from God: it is about partnering with Him in a conversation that looks to the approaching fullness of His kingdom. Jesus speaks of having the right heart attitude and that we pray persistently. As we grow in our prayer partnership with God those prayers become conversations that enable us to hear God more clearly. Matthew 7:7-11 and Luke 18:1-8

    167: 23-03-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 31) "God's precious gifts to you
    Mar 22 2025
    Matthew 7 verse 6 which is a pair of parallel proverbs, at first glance seems to stand alone and just tacked in there between all the other passages. Yet, on closer viewing this verse could be viewed as a summary of a number points Jesus makes in his Sermon on the Mount. If you were to reread Chapter 6 you might observe various verses where Jesus talks about valuing the precious treasures that God gives you. Along with this we are warned of false prophets (unholy men) later in Chapter 7. We are to treat the gifts that God gives us as holy and precious. Among these gifts we can include our family, our time and our faith. These are things that God has blessed us with and we must not let society attack them. Matthew 7:6; Proverbs 3:1-6 and Proverbs 3:21-23

    166: 16-03-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 30) The Problem with Judging
    Mar 15 2025
    Only God knows the motives of a person and therefore “the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart'” (1 Samuel 16:7). The problem with our means of judging others is that we so often do this through the lens of our pride and prejudice. This has always been the case throughout history. Jesus saw it even within the disciples he chose, the Pharisees judged wrongly because of their pride and prejudice, and we see it still as the major problem of people's judgements today. Jesus also reminds us that there are times to judge, or demonstrate discernment in matters. One way that enables us to be discerning is through self-reflection. This is a valuable tool, especially when we are guided in our self-reflection through the prompting of the Holy Spirit – we get a clearer picture of the reality of things and the Holy Spirit helps us to “look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.” (John 7:24). Matthew 7:1-5 and John 7:14-24
