All services are now in St Thomas.
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27, NIV)
Over the past few weeks we've been seeing how amazing the Kingdom of God is: it changes lives, it changes communities, and it points to a future, perfect, eternal kingdom. Being part of this kingdom is open to everyone: there's no charge, no interview process, and no preferential treatment for some group. This has got to be the best news ever - forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life, and it's all free. It does, however, require committment, there's no such things as a "part-time Christian!" Why not join us this Sunday as we see why even that is amazing news?

When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, ‘Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.’ (Luke 14:15, NIV)

It's no suprise that someone says "Blessed is the one" who will be part of it. Why not join us this Sunday as we see more about the Kingdom of God and the invitation to be part of it.

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Luke 14:11, NIV)
Luke still wants us to be thinking about the Kingdom of God, and so he records a parable that Jesus tells about how humility will lead to exalting, in God's kingdom. How does this passage show us Jesus, and how does it reassure us that Jesus will keep us safe? Why not join us this Sunday, as we find out more?

Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? (Luke 13:18, NIV)
What is the kingdom of God like? It's a great question - it's a vital question! If we are part of the kingdom of God, we should know what it's like. If we want others to be part of the kingdom of God, they need to know what it's like as well. Why not come along this Sunday and see how suprising and amazing the kingdom of God is?

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing. (Luke 13:17, NIV)
There is something amazing about what Jesus was doing, and something wonderful about who Jesus is. As we see the story of Jesus healing a woman bent double, we'll see how Jesus cares for people, for individuals, for you. Why not join us this Sunday, as we see Jesus in action?
