Spiritual dehydration (Kate Cathcart)
Spiritual dehydration – know the signs & drink some water. As adults, it is easy to recognise the signs of dehydration – and to apply the cure – to drink some water – but children have to learn these things, and often be led to water – or put on a drip. Have we, as spiritually mature adults, learnt the signs of spiritual dehydration and do we know how to quench this thirst? Connect with us anytime at https://www.thelakes.church
Jesus and healing (Joan Koskela)
Joan Koskela from Living Wisdom Australia (http://www.livingwisdom.com.au) was our guest speaker today. She spoke from Mark 2:1-12 about when Jesus healed a paralysed man.

The exponential provision that comes from generosity (Geoff Snook)
There is an exponential factor to whatever you offer God and offer to each other. 2 Corinthians 9:11, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.” You can’t control the outcome or what you receive, but this passage promises an exponential provision and supply when you live generously. No matter what you have entrusted to God and to each other, your trust is well placed. God’s economy, the exchange rate of the Kingdom of…

My Jesus Story (with Donna Savill)
Three times in John’s gospel we read about people being invited to ‘Come and see’ Jesus. “Come and see,” Jesus said. (1:39)“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied. (1:46)“Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” (4:29) We are invited to come to Jesus and experience him for ourselves. The best posture for us with Jesus is to:* Come surrendered* Come seeking* Come with a soft heart Connect with us…
Jesus and the Lost Coin

Jesus and the Sabbath
A Sabbath day of rest is a gift from God to humanity.Do you treat it like a blessing or a burden? Often we are so focused on honouring God by following rules that we miss God’s real, deeper purpose in giving the Sabbath. Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” -Mark 2:27 The best way to honour God with the Sabbath is…
Jesus vs religion
In Mark 7 Jesus challenged the Pharisees about their empty rituals and pointless religion. We can do all the right things and say all the right things, and those things are good. But Jesus is asking us to check our motives. Often we go through the motions of faith, but our hearts aren’t in it. It ends up being lip service only. We can’t just do things to earn browny points with God because that’s not what faith is about.…
Jesus feeds 5000
