After taking a necessary detour into the mystery of the gospel with Paul, we now come back to Paul's prayer.He's praying for power... but what we need that power for might surprise you!

Ephesians 3:7-13The gospel is full of reversals. God's grace, wisdom, and love turn everything on it's head. And when better to be thinking about this than a baptism day!

Back in Ephesians. Start of Chapter 3. Paul's about to pray, but then something catches him in his tracks.A mystery revealed. And what is that mystery?It's us!

John 20:19-28 There were definitely some tech issues, but the whole sermon is here!We’re celebrating and thanking God for the gift of two little ones, as their families dedicate themselves and their sons to growing up in the wisdom and instruction of God. As a church family, it’s our opportunity to stand alongside them and commit ourselves to walking alongside them in this - raising kids takes the whole village!

Resurrection Day! It’s no exaggeration to say that this is the most significant day in human history. And yet it’s only significant if we see who Jesus really is. We can be kept from seeing who he really is, and what he’s like, by our expectations of him. If our expectations are just not great enough, we’ll miss the Resurrection and the Life that’s right in front of us!

Glory. Everyone wants a little bit of glory. But how this world defines glory and how Jesus defines it - two very different things!He wants us not to settle for the "Little glories", and instead to share in his. But this comes with a challenge!

John 12 -In the run up to Easter we’re taking a short break from Ephesians to walk the road to the cross — the events that changed the world. And we’re doing it through the eyes of John, “the disciple Jesus loved.”As John looks back, he notices the little clues, Easter Eggs, that Jesus left along the way — the signs that this was always the plan. The cross was not a tragic accident or a last-minute rescue mission. It was always how God intended to reconcile humanity to himself and renew the whole creation.This Sunday, we’re looking with Chris at a beautiful moment where one of the sisters of Lazarus (who Jesus raised from the dead) surprises everyone at the dinner table with an extravagant act of worship. Her actions were a challenge to everyone present, and are to us now!

In the run up to Easter we’re taking a short break from Ephesians to walk the road to the cross — the events that changed the world. And we’re doing it through the eyes of John, “the disciple Jesus loved.”As John looks back, he notices the little clues, Easter Eggs, that Jesus left along the way — the signs that this was always the plan. The cross was not a tragic accident or a last-minute rescue mission. It was always how God intended to reconcile humanity to himself and renew the whole creation.This Sunday, we are in one of the most painfully relatable moments in John’s Gospel. Two grieving sisters reach out to Jesus with words many of us have felt ourselves: “Lord, if you had been here…”Who Jesus reveals himself to be in that moment - and what he does - remains our solid and confident hope today.
