Why are we talking about this? The Western church is currently going through a major shift that needs to be acknowledged. Pastors, church leaders, denominations, fellowships, and networks are all deeply engaged in conversations about the role of women in church leadership, striving to establish a standard on when and how women can teach, preach and lead in the local church.
Read MoreAs we transition into a new year, a question echoes in our hearts and minds: “What’s Next?” Today, I’d like to help you with that question. Not in so much a practical sense, but in seeking God’s vision for your life. Are we willing to open ourselves to something greater? In the next few minutes, we’ll explore three spiritual practices from Romans 12, that can help us align our dreams and aspirations (maybe our New Year’s resolutions) with God’s purpose.

Five outcomes of a transformed heart. In chapter 12 of Paul’s letter to the Roman Church, there are some unique outcomes that he lays out, on how an individual responds once they have received the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These responses or perhaps, better clarified as behavioural outcomes, are spurred on by the Holy Spirit and then lived out by the individual.

We are bombarded with messages to improve ourselves. “The new you!” “Self-care and self-love!” These and similar pitches push us to the centre of our own attention and at times, the centre of our adoration. This type of thinking and living doesn’t last.

Every pastor claims to know the right way to evangelize. Many are also quick to downplay or disregard other methods or models of evangelism. Over my time in ministry, I’ve come to learn that the ways people come to know Jesus are both deep and wide. And we should be careful when targeting a single way to share the Gospel as the only way.

Not sure if you’re familiar with the Enneagram, but I am an 8 (the Challenger), with a wing-7 (the Enthusiast). My internal nature is to always be working on or running to the next big thing. My mind is constantly focused on a challenge to overcome, or an experience to be had. Sure, I can get a lot accomplished and I have a lot of unique adventures, but there is a shadow side to every Enneagram number.

How much peace are you experiencing these days? Would you define this chapter of your life as a peaceful one? Maybe that’s an unfair question in the current state of the world.
Imagine our world if every conversation ended with “Go in Peace”. Imagine if the the last word we said to each other in conversation was, “peace”. What would our society look like?

How’s this chapter of life going? Maybe for you, this chapter has a lot of difficult moments; personal struggles, broken relationships, as well as the numerous trials related to this cultural moment. As we navigate the difficulties of life, we can choose to quit and walk away, or we can choose to stay! To stay the course, looking forward to the end goal; past this earthly life and into eternity, focused on a better story.

Who was this Child born on that very first Christmas Eve? Why was He so important, that we’d still be talking about Him 2000 years later? Is He still important to us? To humanity? To the world?
