Adamo talks about the way in which a Christian we grow to be more like Jesus - we are running the race

Ed takes us through the story of the prostitute who annoints Jesus's feet and reveals a message of hope and a message of warning. The message of hope is that it does not matter how big our sins are - Jesus will forgive us. It is an amazing thing that we are forgiven - the slate is clean, it is like our sin never took place. The warning, however is about thinking we are better than others. When we criticise others, we are putting ourselves above them.

In our family service, Adamo re-enacts the story of the good samaritan with the help of a number of 'volunteers'. Following the fun, Adamo helps us see the nature of Jesus who binds up all our wounds and pays all our debt just like the good samaritan. He also compares our salvation to the impossible situation the injured man finds himself in, impossible until his rescuer came for him. We too are saved by grace from our impossible position, saved by the immeasureable riches of God's grace.

Ben looks at the way the disciples were obedient to Jesus when they called them. Obedience through faith gives us freedom, so when God calls us to step out in faith, we should do it whole-heartedly to really experience His freedom. When we trust in His plan over our understanding and circumstances, we see Him at work in our lives.

Tim looks at the woman at the well story in John 4 and how our impact should be 1. Against social norms 2. In love. 3. In grace and truth and 4. To many others. (Note first 3:35mins of recording is faulty - please skip forwards)
