Hearing God's voice is something all Christians long for.

You don't always think of 'mission' and 'consumerism' as being natural opposites, but in this sermon, Peter explains how one of the major discipleship journeys we need to walk is from the idolatry of things and experiences, to bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world in word and action.

Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ This last part of the Great Commandment shows us that we can't just love ourselves, but more importantly, we need to love others too. See how we can develop this in our discipleship journey.

I was my own worst judge. I used to fear being exposed as unimpressive, unsuccessful, and unimportant. I even sometimes felt small, dirty, defiled, wrong and unwanted – just not good enough. But I don’t need to feel this shame anymore, I don’t need to numb my psychological pain or blame others for my hurts, because I know deep inside that God approves of me and loves me as his child.

Faith in Jesus has made me spiritually alive, now I can live the life that God wants me to live.

In the story of Jesus healing the man at the pool at Bethesda, we see the way Jesus picked the man out from the crowd and transformed his life, even when he didn't appreciate it. See what this means for us today.
