MESSAGES
Pursuing Jesus: “I’ll show you how”, the Master who takes us to who we can become
We conclude our "Pursuing Jesus" series, focusing on discipleship as apprenticeship. Like Peter, we are invited to come, follow, and then be shown by Jesus how to live in His Kingdom. Apprenticeship is about living towards a future-orientation of who we are becoming, requires scaffolding and curiosity. It is ultimately for joining Jesus in His work of restoring all things, becoming fruitful for others and the world.
Pursuing Jesus: “Follow me”, make Christ your vine
Jesus’ invitation—“Follow me”—sounds simple, but like Peter, we often don’t realise what we’re signing up for. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to abide in Jesus, trust Him as Saviour, and walk in friendship with Him. What are you attached to? What’s shaping you? And is it producing the life you long for? Join us as we dive into John 15 and the call to a life well connected to Christ.
Pursuing Jesus: “Come”, a call for the wanted
Jesus invites us into His Kingdom like a host inviting guests to a great feast—abundant, joyful, and open to all. But the choice to accept is ours; excuses can keep us from the table. God won’t force us in, but His invitation remains: Come, I want you here. How will you respond?
Pursuing Jesus: A journey of apprenticeship
Jesus invites us into His Kingdom like a host inviting guests to a great feast—abundant, joyful, and open to all. But the choice to accept is ours; excuses can keep us from the table. God won’t force us in, but His invitation remains: Come, I want you here. How will you respond?
How will you enter the arena?
Walking in the way of Jesus isn’t just about belief—it’s about living it out with integrity and courage. Perpetua and Felicitas embodied this, stepping into the arena with joy, unity, and unwavering faith, leaving a lasting impact on those who witnessed their sacrifice. The early church prepared for moments like these through mentors, daily habits, and deep formation. Today, we face our own arenas, and the question remains: will we walk the way of Jesus?
Note: Our apologies, but the final several minutes of this sermon did not record.
