Can love really make a difference in our world? We think it can, but it might just take a new reference point for how we love.

3.Be rich

Last week in the series we discovered how to find meaning without money. This week we&#039;re speaking about how we can leverage our skills to be a means to an end beyond ourselves.

2.Be Rich

If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the 1% club. By global standards, you’re rich! Of course, you may not feel rich, but the truth is it’s time to start giving while you’re living because what you’re holding is moulding! This month we’re going to encourage each other to Be Rich by being extravagantly generous. After all, our extravagant generosity toward others is the most appropriate response to God’s extravagant generosity toward us

1.Be Rich

Studies show that around 53% of us are unhappy at work. Around 75% of people leave their jobs because of people they work with, not the work they&#039;re doing. So how do we buck the trend and actually start finding fulfilment in our day-to-day? Could the key to loving our work be found in learning how to love the people we work with... even if their difficult people to love?

2.Make life work

We spend most of our life working. It could be behind a desk, behind a steering wheel or behind a smelly baby. So... does our work have to feel like hard work? Or is there a better way to make work-life, work for us?

Many of us have viewed faith as something we do alone. We might have said that it’s private. But there’s a limit to our faith growth when we go it alone. There’s a deepening to our faith that we only experience together. When it comes to consistently growing our faith, “we” is greater than “me.” Who’s spurring on your faith and whose faith are you spurring on?

3.Out of the shallows

Moving out of the shallows starts with feeding ourselves spiritually. But if we stop at that first step, we’ll be left spiritually fat rather than spiritually fit. How do we prevent that from happening? The next step involves a spiritual workout that’s unique for each of us.

2.Out of the shallows

No one wants their faith to be described as shallow. But how do we go deep?

1.Out of the shallows

The first Christmas was coming, ready or not. Gods plan for the world had begun and everyone was invited to participate. So, as we approach the big day again this year, we look back to that first Christmas to see how we can step into this grand plan God has for the whole world. Christmas is coming, ready or not!

1.Christmas, ready or not

Conflict is a part of every deep relationship. If we want to do life better with people who aren&#039;t like us we need to get it right. So how do we engage in conflict and still maintain healthy relationships.

4.Better Together

As we celebrate two peoples public marking of a commitment to follow Jesus with baptism, we explore how although commitment can often be seen as a burden and a narrowing of options, Jesus invites us into, commitment and relationship. Could it really hold the key to life lived to the full?

Commitment (Baptism Sunday)

Feedback can feel like a dirty word sometimes. But we all want to grow and get better don&#039;t we? With our family, finances, relationships maybe even our faith. How do we get better and seek feedback while recognising our need to be loved for who we are right now? Maybe we have less to prove than we think, maybe our identity could be the key to getting this right! It&#039;s hard to improve when we&#039;ve got something to prove!

3.Better Together

In all our relationships there will be gaps between what we hope or expect the other person to say or do, and what we actually experience. We have a choice what we place in those gaps. We can choose love, forgiveness, honesty and trust, or we can choose suspicion.

2.Better Together

Diversity really is the spice of life. Our worlds are full of people who aren&#039;t like us. So how do we live well with people when what we say isn&#039;t always what others hear? How can the words we choose help us live better with people who are nothing like us?

1.Better Together

The bible is the big story of how God restored the relationship with broken people like us. So... How&#039;d he do it?
