Submission is a muscle that every single Christian on planet earth is called to flex. Jesus has a design in mind for those entrusted with leadership, and it is not that of cattle-ranchers driving a herd from the back, but shepherds leading their flock by example from the front. When humility flavours both the way elders lead and the way Christians follow within a local church, we get a foretaste of our eternal future.

We the Church #5: Our Outward Mission - Witness & Works
November 3, 2019
The local church is not a spiritual event to attend, but a community of ‘sent-people’ to belong to. Every Christian has a story to tell and a space to invite others into. When we remember that once we were strangers to God, and through Jesus we’ve been given a seat at the table, we begin to open up our lives and live on God’s mission with courage, warmth, and good news to tell.
We the Church #4: Gentleness & Generosity
October 27, 2019
The Apostle Paul shows us that a Spirit-led church is one marked by relational gentleness and financial generosity. Because Jesus bore the ultimate burden of our sin on the cross; we, by the Spirit’s power can embrace our responsibility to bear one another’s burdens.
We the Church #3: A Gospel-Culture
October 20, 2019
Right thinking about Jesus (gospel-doctrine), should lead our churches into a right experience together of Jesus (gospel-culture). In John 13:34-35, Jesus connects the believability of our message with the beauty of our relationships. The presence of biblical non-negotiables in a church — like love, humility, and patience — will either validate the message of the gospel or vandalise it.
