Message: Borders or Bearings? - Jamie Fredricks
Is the church community best understood by the boundaries that it creates around itself, or by its direction of travel? Jamie unpacks two models of thinking about 'the fellowship', looking at the example of Jesus in his 'Nazareth Manifesto' from Luke ch4. We look at the extreme caution which the Bible demonstrates about judging by outward appearances, and instead consider a more personal vision of responsibility and journeying towards Jesus.

In our Harvest Festival Family Service we looked at different ways that we might frame the world and how our outlook can lead to very different assumptions. Do we view things through a lens of scarcity and anxiety, or one of generosity and grace? We linked this to our current series which seeks to explore the nature of the church community and our vision in particular. Despite the challenging circumstances in which we live, we must hold on in faith to the vision that God gives us of an 'overflowing', expansive and inclusive life.

Fittingly, as part of a Baptism service, Jamie begins a new series which aims to explore the idea and reality of Christian community, the ‘Fellowship of the Holy Spirit’. What is the Church? Who is the Church? What is Church for, and what does it mean to be a part of it (or not)? In this message we take an initial look at a vision statement that has been gathering some momentum amongst us, and root it in the advice to the church given in 1 John 4.

Jesus demonstrates this beautifully in John 4 as he talks with a woman who has had a difficult life. Does he criticise or condemn? No! He breaks down the barriers and introduces her to real Love, generous and kind. It’s the everlasting compassionate lovingkindness that welcomes all who will come near…

How can we begin to understand what God is like? The Bible describes “the way God is” by pointing out aspects of God’s character and behaviour. We can say “God is Love” – but what does that mean in practice? In Psalm 23 there’s a clue: Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The word “follow” actually means more than you might think- it means to chase, to pursue, to never give up or fade away.

In the wake of the Queen’s passing, Nick observes how mourning a public figure can also bring our own unprocessed grief to the surface. We consider the need to grieve well, and how Jesus expresses his own grief in a healthy way.

In all the business and competing demands of life, Jesus offers a radically different perspective: a way of life he describes as "easy" and "light". Even for folks who are trying to follow Jesus, life doesn't always feel that way! Is it too good to be true? What would be the hallmarks of such a life? What might we need to change in order to experience this?
