Hosted by Burleigh Heads Church of Christ · EN
The Christian faith is not a passive pursuit, but rather the opposite. Jesus calls us to participate in the kingdom, to be part of the community of Christ, and to demonstrate commitment to that cause. Join Steve as he unpacks these themes in his final sermon as Burleigh senior pastor.
Jesus tells us to "abide" in him. The world tells us--well, a lot of things. We cannot escape being influenced, so the question is, who is influencing us? And so, who am I becoming? Join Steve as he explores the importance of spiritual practices, rhythms and habits in becoming a person like Jesus.
In Scripture we read about God calling people over and over again. It is a major theme of Scripture. But what is it like today? Does God still call us? And does he only call special people, or is his calling more widely experienced? If so, how does it work, and how do we know when we are called, and what do we do?
As Steve nears the end of this season of pastoring Burleigh Church of Christ, Steve reflects on what he has learned of the years, and lays out the core priorities for Burleigh and any other faithful church. This week he looks at the commitments found in Acts 2:42 which should be reflected here.
Join Steve as he unpacks the beautiful carol, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" The core question of this carol, born out of anxiety, is crucial for our world today. Are we listening to a common truth, or are we hearing our own desires reflected back to us, leading to isolation?
Continuing in our carols series, Steve looks at the once-controversial carol, O Holy Night. As a medidation of Jesus birth, this carol can lead us into a posture that allows us to properly relate to God and his creation. Listen in for all the details.
In this Christmas series, Steve is looking at a selection of carols, and how they celebrate and reveal the love and grace of God in the arrival of Jesus. In this first entry to the series, Steve unpacks the haunting, ancient carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
One of the most difficult spiritual practices to understand and apply is one of the simplest: the practice of being who God made us to be. Join Merryn as she uses Jesus' encounter with Mary and Martha to explain what it means to truly be.
