One Another Series - Don't Blame One Another
When we are doing it tough and things seem to be going against us – James tells us to be patient and stand firm in our faith. He understands that when we are suffering we often take it out on those around us. So he warns us against grumbling and blaming others. We need other people when we are experiencing hardship – so it’s not wise to push them away. We find our rest in God as we enjoy the people he puts in our life.

One Another Series - Motivate One Another to Good Works
As we draw near to God we come to understand the importance of our church family. God wants for us to encourage each other in our walk with Him. Meeting together at church or life group is a wonderful way to spur each other on to achieve God’s purposes. We are always better together.

One Another Series - Build up One Another 1 Thess 5: 1-11
When we live in the light - we are open to God’s leading. We are in step with his purposes. However, there are many challenges and distractions. May we encourage each other to make the most of the life that Christ died to give us.

One Another Series - Seek Good for One Another - Don't Repay Evil for Evil
We must resist the temptation to repay evil with evil. Why be a victim twice. Rather ask God to bring about an amazing transformation where you actually want the offender to be blessed. Now this isn’t easy and it is beyond all human compassion. But God can do a work in us where rather than wanting them to suffer, we pray for their blessing. Now this not just a huge win for those we pray for, but it is a huge blessing to us as well. Vengeance is like a cancer and it eats away our soul. This is God’s love in action through us. Love Does.

One Another Series - Be Patient and Compassionate
Sometimes we are easily annoyed. At other times people around us can be very annoying. Either way anger is lurking close by. Love Does means an action where we give each other room to fail. We also understand that often our own frustration means we react rather unfairly to those who get in the way. We need to be patient and show compassion.

One Another Series - Protect One Another
We are set free in Christ. Free from our sinful behaviour and its terrible consequences. But we are not free to exploit those around us. At its worst, human behaviour can drive us to destroy people. However, Christ in us, means we can be vessels of His love. Therefore the best of human behaviour, inspired by obedience to the spirit, enables us to love, serve and protect.

One Another - Be of the Same Mind
The thought of Jew and Gentile inheriting the kingdom of God together was offensive to many Jews. But Paul encourages total acceptance because then they can worship God in one voice. God loves that ! After all just as Christ accepts us, so we must accept others. We don’t have to agree on everything but we are the one and same family. Jesus took the imitative to reconcile us both to God and to each other. Love Does means we invest in this great opportunity to be blessed and be a blessing.

Love Does Series W8 - "A Lifestyle of Compassion"
Paul teaches us to put on Love and Compassion. For this is the way that God’s children should “dress” Compassion is the motivation behind our love for others. Yet it doesn’t just take place in our minds but it is always evidenced in action. We can have a compassionate heart but it will always be reflected in our lifestyle. Compassion is displayed in and through who we are and what we do. Love is a choice. Compassion makes that choice easier. Therefore it would make sense that we would seek God so that we might put it on.

Love Does Series W7 - " A Healthy Heart"
Being in harmony with our God and King is key to a life of joy and peace. We are forever His children by faith in Jesus, but there is ongoing growth and maturity that takes places within our heart as we journey with Him day by day. As our relationship develops God creates an integrity within us that draws us to desire a pure heart. It can be a difficult journey with some pain, but the joy that comes is beyond words.

Love Does Series W6 - "A Healthy View of Heaven"
Heaven is not something that we probably reflect on as much as we should. However, we do need to be balanced. On one hand our eternal home is the only thing that makes sense of this life on earth. The Bible tells us we are aliens here, our eternal home is our true destination. Yet the reality is, that while we are on this earth we make the most of it. We may only have a loose grip on this life, but we are still to take everything opportunity to serve God faithfully while we can.

Love Does Series W5 - " Healthy Worship Life"
We worship God with our lives every day. We come together in fellowship and offer our worship. Worship isn’t limited to music and singing but is evident whenever we declare God’s greatness – His limitless worth. Sometimes we get confused and consider worship through our own eyes. However, worship is to God and for God. If we build on that understanding our worship will be balanced.

Love Does Series W4 - " Healthy Prayer Life"
Prayer is key to our Christian journey. Sometimes we don’t always understand fully the characteristics of a healthy prayer life. Once we do, we might find ourselves enjoying a spiritual discipline that we often neglected. Who better to listen to than Jesus when he teaches us about prayer. We need to be both excited and expectant about what transformation will take place when we find the sweet spot of prayer in our life.

Love Does Series W3 - " Healthy Unity"
It is important for us to understand that we don’t create Christian unity. We don’t get to decide. We only maintain what Jesus put in place. In someone is in Christ they are in. Healthy unity is an appreciation of our differences but all the time acknowledging that we belong to the one family with the one and the same Lord.

Love Does Series W2 - "Dependent on God for Love"
John is not identifying a quality which God possesses; it is not simply that God loves, but that he _is_ love Therefore, to imagine that God does not love us is to deny his true nature, to repudiate his character. This Divine love cannot be earned; it cannot be deserved. It is love for our fellow believers that John puts forward as irrefutable evidence of the new birth. Its absence, whatever a person’s pretensions may be, indicates that he has no true personal knowledge of God. So we are dependent upon God to love others. v7 clarifies for us where our source lies _- Love comes from God_. He is as much its source as he is the source of all true light.

Love Does Series W1 - "Love is Action not Words"
Every Christian has a new destiny. We have passed from death to life. The reason we know it is that we love our brothers. This life is eternal not only in that it is everlasting, but in that it is the life of God within us. God is the only source of life, light and love and this is to be the obvious outworking of His spirit within us. The reality of my gratitude for my deliverance from this death is evidenced by how much I love my brothers and sisters. This is not something we just talk about but it by its nature is something we do.

Luke Series Week 8
The woman’s love and gratitude is evidence of how great her ‘debt’ has been, and how in turn, how great the Lord’s forgiveness is. The formal religion of the Pharisees had no real answer to the problem of sin, and could only respond with disapproval and condemnation. But Jesus could actually do away with sin, and in this deepest sense bring salvation and peace. Here in lies our motivation to love deeply.

Luke Series Week 7
Luke Chapter 6 challenges us to live a life according to our calling. Loving not just our neighbour, but also to love our enemies. Further to that we are not to judge others but to forgive. This is what is to come out from a heart given over to God. Obedience is the key. We are called to obey the leading of God spirit in all these things and make them a part of our daily lifestyle.

Luke Series Week 6
Enjoying the presence of Jesus is a natural response as an act of love. But it’s more than just coming to Him as an act of trust, we are to keep journeying with Him as an act of Faith ! His desire is for us to grow. Jesus wants us to gather around Him but in so doing, it’s just a matter of time before He starts to challenge our thinking.

Luke Series Week 5
Jesus shares his mission. He will bring about a message of Good News. We are called to a life of freedom, joy, hope and love. You would imagine that this is good news for all people; however, some decide to turn their back on Jesus. We are first to receive the message and then proclaim it in word and deed.
