Message: Pushing Back and Pressing On - Jamie Fredricks
Rounding out our recent reflections on the post-resurrection stories of Jesus, we looked at the last two episodes of Matthews Gospel. The story of the guards being bribed to lie about Jesus’ body being stolen shows that from the very beginning, people have strained to come up with alternative explanations for the events of Easter. This is not simply a modern phenomena! The Resurrection confronts our settled categories and disturbs our world view… and we as Christians need to allow it to do so, despite this discomfort.
Finally, we looked at ‘the Great Commission’: a very human, but inspiring scene, that propels us out as missionaries to our lives and our worlds. We continued to look at the events related in the Gospels that happened after Jesus’ Resurrection. Jamie reflected on the women who first discovered the empty tomb: However, unfortunately the history of women in the church since then has often been one of marginalisation.

He also delved deeper into the story of Thomas, and how the experience of ‘missing’ Jesus might have affected him. This led into a time of ministry, where we sought God’s healing for those moments where we and others have experienced disappointment, rejection and marginalisation.

Following on from Easter Sunday, this week we looked at one of the remarkable stories that took place after the Resurrection. Initially, the disciples on the road to Emmaus were unable to see Jesus, although he was right there in their midst. This reflects much of our own experience, and that of our wider culture! Jamie unpacked some of the ways that they started to perceive his presence and what we might take from them. He also looked in some detail at Jesus’ claim that all of Scripture pointed to himself. What might this mean for the way we use the Bible? And if we lose sight of this fact, are we in danger of missing what is actually unique about Christian faith?

Our full Easter Sunday service from 9th April 2023, including the baptisms of Gary and Finlay!
Message: The Colours of Resurrection
Our Resurrection Sunday gathering was an opportunity to reflect on the Cross and also marvel at the Empty Tomb! Beginning with a reading of Luke 24, our Easter Sunday all-age service was extra joyful this year as it included two baptisms. These were followed by an illustration led by Amanda, our Early Years pastor, and a Communion reflection led by Jamie, both using the theme of colour to draw us into the meaning of this central day for Christians. What might 'Black', 'Red', 'White', 'Gold', and 'Green' mean for us this Easter."

On Palm Sunday Jamie shared the final message in our ‘Soul Music’ series, looking at Worship as a reality of life.
Regardless of whether we identify as 'religious' or not, everyone puts faith in something... everyone worships something. These are not questions of metaphysics or belief, but of hierarchy. What do we give time and attention to? In what order? How do we decide between competing needs? What, for us, is 'ultimate'?
Christian spirituality asks us whether the object of our worship ('worth-ship') is 'worthy' of it: Can it bear the 'weight' of our worship? Will it satisfy... or prove inadequate, hollow, or disappointing?
Jamie reflected on the good order that God has placed in Creation, and suggested that many of our stresses, strains and anxieties arise from living lives in conflict with that order.
In a world where so many struggle with truth, meaning, where many cannot find perspective or balance, it is vital to reflect on how God has ordered the Creation; And ask if we are living lives in harmony with the 'Cosmic Music'.
