God’s gift for us is life - we who deserve death are offered life because of God’s great love. The question is: do you want it?

Grace means: Jesus is the hero of our story, not ‘me’.

Jesus is what people need the most, and making disciples is the mission he’s given us - what does that mean? Why and how should we do it?

‘All involved’ means Jesus’ disciples gathering and identifying what he’s given us so together we can live God’s best life more and more.

Friends, I long for us to live faithfully.  I long for us to stand on the foundation of forgiveness and grace.  I long for our lives to be formed in humility and love.

While we wait, what we do matters – but who we are in Jesus comes first.

As God’s family, let us turn towards the light of Jesus, let us shine with his light, and let us share that light with others.

Let us strive, not only for heaven, but towards heaven. We don’t have to earn the prize; we don’t have to be paralysed by the past - let’s journey together, sharing our pain, struggles - and joy.

In this special meal of holy communion, past present and future all meet in this one moment of grace.

Jesus says, ‘If you are well, you do not need me to heal you; so are you sure you are well? If you are righteous, you do not need my grace to make perfect your weakness; so are you sure you are righteous?’
