Episode 173 - Worship - Shepherd - Ready (Luke 12:32-40)

Episode 172 - Worship - Kingdom First (Luke 12:22-31)

In this week's message, Pastor Adam revisits one of the core commands of Jesus - to seek God's kingdom first - and explores how this frees us from the worry and anxiety that is part of how life operates far too often.

Episode 171 - Worship - Not His to Own (Luke 12:13-21)

Sometimes, Jesus addressed needs in the Gospels that are strange or unknown to us - but not in this passage.  Here, Jesus tells the story of a rich man who has received a windfall, an unlooked-for blessing, and plots to increase his own comfort and ease.  That path is not the path of life, Jesus says; rather, he encourages all who hear his words to think of those in need and share what God has blessed them with at every opportunity, because nothing that we have been given is ours to own.

For four weeks, we will be looking at the only miracle Jesus performed in all four Gospels: the feeding of the 5000.  In Matthew 14, we see how Jesus, despite his own grief and suffering, was keen to help those around him in need - and how it seems to have helped his own pain.
