Here’s a summary of this week’s sermon:

  • Our current cultural moment is characterized by a narrative of crisis due to global pandemic, Brexit, climate change, and rising fuel costs among others.

  • The sons of Issachar were renowned for understanding the times and knowing how Israel should respond.

  • Similarly, we as Christians are called to choose God's narrative of good news and preach it to ourselves to be liberated from fear.

  • Developing predictable patterns such as daily Bible reading and consistent prayer can help us live well in an unpredictable world.

  • Christianity is best expressed through community. Gathering regularly in small groups provides a form of spiritual family, with support in times of crisis or disaster.

💬 CONVERSATION STREET --

Matt + Anna discuss:

  • Times have changed and the context of crisis changed, but the tragedy of it is still the same. What do you think of that?

  • John in his talk said that we need to preach the good news to ourselves to remind us of the better narrative that we as Christians have. What does that look like for you?

  • What does resilience mean to you? How to be resilient when times get tough? 

  • While we as Christians know we should turn to God’s word and the truth of His word, yet many a times we don’t do it. What has your experience been like?

  • If someone is going through a tough time and having watched this has got a glimmer of hope that God’s there and He is good and that they can weather that crisis they’re going through, where do they start?
