This Sunday @ Healingsprings fellowship! 

Grace and Works

On 27 March 2015, Hotel Makka al-Mukarama in Mogadishu was attacked by Al-Shabaab militant group. One of its occupants later died as a result of injuries sustained from the attack.

He was a Somali diplomat and politician, the Ambassador of Somalia to the United Nations Human Rights Office in Geneva.

A Muslim who used his position to fight tirelessly for Christians suffering persecution in Africa. His name, Yusuf Mohamed Ismail.

In the words of Paul, 

When Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all – (Rom. 2:14-16)

I’m so excited about what God is doing through our Church Reloaded series, so I extend an invite to you as we crystallise our series on Grace with a lecture entitled, Grace and Works!

This Sunday’s lecture | Call of Duty: we build together

In the 31st chapter of the book of Exodus, we are introduced to a God that: calls, equips, and linkup people with unique talents and skills; towards a common purpose. 

This pattern provides us with a blueprint which can be used in the fulfilment God’s purpose. One that provides leaders and disciples with: wisdom, knowledge and understanding for everyday life and the work of the ministry. 

So join us tonight: (6:00-7:30) pm

This Sunday’s lecture | The parable of the talents: a lesson in praxis

Last Sunday we looked at aspects of Jesus’ life through Gramsci’s concept of the Organic Intellectual. Tomorrow we build upon that foundation, bringing it home, and reflecting on our lives as believers in the 21st century.

In 1944, while Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s was in prison by the Nazi regime, he wrote a letter a friend. In this letter he asked some profound questions with regards to the trajectory of Christianity. He presciently said:

We are moving towards a completely religionless time; people as they are now simply cannot be religious anymore. Even those who honestly describe themselves as ‘religious’ do not in the least act up to it, and so they presumably mean something quite different by ‘religious’

To this end, the following questions come to mind:
– How can we live out our faith effectively within our communities?

  • How can the church remain relevant now and in the next generation?
  • What does the parable of the talents mean to us today?

So join us tomorrow as we explore themes around these questions.
