Rooted in Love: Episode 3 - Practice with Vanessa Caruso
Meditation… PRACTICE is about finding ways to translate our ideas, beliefs and questions into things we can actually do, try out, play with, or grow in. In this episode we will focus on ways we can apply our values in the context of our real lives. Imagination required!
Rooted in Love: Episode 2 - Discussion with Jonathan Ellis
Jonathan, Anna, and Andy discuss some of the implications of being rooted in an Outreaching Love.
Rooted in Love: Episode 1 - Sermon - Outreaching Love with Jonathan Ellis
The purpose of the church isn’t merely to have a place to come and receive and enjoy community together - there is something greater here too! Jonathan opens up the Scriptures and speaks on GLORIFICATION (Worshipping God) and EDIFICATION (Growing as Disciples and Loving One Another). This equips us for MISSION (Sharing the wealth we have in Jesus with our neighbours)
Therefore, one of our 7 core longings is: “We long for an out-reaching love, for apart from authentic, active service there is no true religion”
