Monday Nov 28, 2022
It’s the last week of Becoming Like Jesus! We unpack the parable of the sower and consider how the Spirit might be applying the challenges of this epic teaching to us at the point in our journey as God has been scattering seed about becoming like Jesus these past weeks.

Becoming Like Jesus: Expectations & Forgiveness
Sunday Nov 20, 2022
Sunday Nov 20, 2022
Becoming Like Jesus continues in Luke 7 as we read along together. After the amazing Centurion’s faith last week, we see faith and expectation play out again with John the Baptist. Then Luke gives us round two of love and compassion as he turns the tables on shame when a prostitute comes to dinner.

Sunday Nov 06, 2022
Sunday Nov 06, 2022
Becoming Like Jesus rolls into the second half of Luke 6 as we read along together. Jesus is teaching about two ways, and two types of people and this week the focus shifts from self to others. We chat about whether it’s ever right to judge, the place of good fruit, and resilience.

Becoming Like Jesus: Upside Down
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Our Becoming Like Jesus series continues into Luke 6 as we read along together. We talk about Jesus’ method for re-forming values, identity and purpose. Jesus sets up the questions, and his teaching provides the framework in which we can discover the answers – and a high point is the beatitudes, where we see just how different God’s way is to what we might think.

Sunday Oct 23, 2022
Sunday Oct 23, 2022
Our Becoming Like Jesus series continues into Luke 5 as we read along together. This week is full of scandal and surprise… at least it was in Jesus’ time. We dig into things to appreciate Jesus the challenger, and think about how his challenges can shape us.

Becoming Like Jesus: Two Responses
Sunday Oct 16, 2022
Sunday Oct 16, 2022
As we continue reading Luke together in the Becoming Like Jesus series, we dive into some big themes from Jesus’ temptation to a breakout of healing. This week presents two influences, and two responses. The coming Kingdom of God battles against the kingdom of darkness, and people demonstrate polar opposite responses as they choose sides. Are we becoming like Jesus in the ways we are influenced, and like the response Jesus affirms?

Monday Oct 10, 2022
We're back! As we kick off a series at AJC all about Becoming Like Jesus, and reading Luke's gospel together along the way, we have a conversation about what it looks like to read the Bible for formation. How do we move from consuming more input, to a dynamic interaction with God that moves at the pace of God's leading? We also chat through this week's reading with a few tips on what to look out for.
