Even when all around us seems hopeless we are still strengthened by Jesus Christ and the truth by which our lives are defined is the resurrection truth.

Our primary calling is to be a citizen of heaven and be loyal to Jesus Christ, who us the ultimate citizen of heaven. We are called to embody Jesus’ focus on love for EVERYONE.

In his Pentecost Sunday sermon, Ben reminds us that the Holy Spirit does more through us than we can possibly do ourselves. We are not saved through our own good behaviour but by the grace of Jesus. The only way to salvation is trusting in Jesus and sharing the resurrection.

Following the example of Christ, we are called to humble ourselves.

Ben tells how the resurrected Jesus brings about a new creation and asks: are you John, Peter or Mary?

Work hard for justice and peace - one day this will come. Pray hard for the end of pain and sickness - with God's grace this will come.

The reason we sing is because Jesus loves us - our whole lives should be dedicated to Him.
