| |  | Shaping Church Culture - Commitment | Christine Bailey | | | Christine notes Luke's Gospel comment about a large crowd following Jesus to suggest Jesus' words about commitment were aimed at challenging the crowd to think about their lives, rather than follow just out of interest. Our relationship to God and our fellow Christians may not be perfect and truly communal (as is the ideal described in Acts), but it something we need to commit to as a response to God's love for us. The challenges of time, talents and resources are for individuals to respond to in love. | St George's Ashtead 9.15 Service | Listen

| |  | I AM - the Good Shepherd | Christine Bailey | | | Christine looks at the context of the I am the Good Shepherd saying of Jesus in the wider context of the use of sheep and shepherd imagery in the OT and NT. Here it precedes His criticism of the Jewish Religious leadership in leading the people of Israel astray - a not uncommon criticism to be found in the OT. He is the shepherd who values and leads his people and they know his voice. Christine considers how we are to know Christ's voice amongst the current multitude of noise. | St Georges Ashtead 9.15 service | Listen

|  | Sovereign - Man or God | Christine Bailey | | | Christine continues with Elijah's big moment as he defeats the prophets of Baal in the public contest to bring fire to the sacrifices - Elijah clearly wins and calls on God to bring an end to the drought, and it happens. The people of Judah side, not too convincingly, with Elijah and Yahweh. Ahab leaves and the prophets of Baal are killed. Christine encourages us to put aside those things which might be gods for us and find our voices to speak out God's love in this fallen world. | St Georges Ashtead 9.15 service | Listen

| | |  | Transforming ..... mission | Christine Bailey | | | Christine continues our series about the transforming power of Christ's resurrection. She recounts how the idea of mission has changed over her lifetime from being primarily about evangelism, to a much broader spectrum of activity covering social action and campaigning for justice for the poor. It's all covered in Paul's exhortation to the Romans about living together as the body of Christ in the transforming power of the Resurrection, in a sense "bringing Heaven to Earth". | St Georges Ashtead 9.15 service | Listen
