On Sunday, Mike shared a beautiful message about The Shema and how Jesus creates a radical combo of new and old teaching that all law and prophets hang on 2 things:
1. Love the lord our God with all of our Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength
2. Love our neighbour as we love ourself
Mike highlights how Jesus is reshaping The Shema and a passage from Leviticus as a radical combo - A THEOLOGICAL EARTHQUAKE!
"You can't love someone you can't see without loving someone you can see."
- How do you love an invisible God?
- Who is your neighbour?

On Sunday was our annual COMPASSION SUNDAY gathering where we highlight our partnership with Compassion to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. It was a fantastic morning where Ryan Smith (Our local compassion correspondent) shared about hope in the neighbourhood.
"God's not dead, he's bread" - Sister Mary Conita
Ryan draws from Matthew 15 and the feeding of the 5000 with 7 loaves of bread and 2 small fish. Like Jesus, we need to recognise the people in need and trust God to provide. See the Need Feel the Need Meet the Need More Left Over

In Mike's Message today he is continuing to share on 'Heart Health' as found in Proverbs 4:23, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." And in this message focuses on envy & desire.
"You don't rid envy by trying harder- you heal by bringing it into the light and yielding to the spirit."
Mimetic Process-
1. Imitation (I want what they want)
2. Rivalry (competition)
3. Conflict (tearing each other down)
4. Scapegoating ( blame someone else)
5. False Peace (we feel better... until the cycle starts again)
Practices (the way of the spirit)-
1. Honest Prayer
2. Gratitude
3. Celebration
4. Sacrificial Love

Happy Easter! Over the weekend we had fantastic services for Good Friday & Easter Sunday here at Goodlife. For the podcast we've including a poem called 'Jesus Road To The Cross' from our Good Friday Gathering. And then we have a special message from Mike Hardie on Jesus' resurrection but also about the invitation into transformation and renewal this Easter.
Easter is NOT the happy ending to Good Friday. It's the beginning of a NEW story.

In the lead up to Easter, we are reaching the end of our series looking through the Gospel of Luke. On Sunday, we had guest speaker James Hall share about Palm Sunday and what that has meant to him as an Anglican Priest. James wonderfully shares about the traditions he took part in and how the powerful imagery would allow him to feel the depth and the meaning of the journey to the cross and the Easter story.
The invitation this Easter is sit with story and reflect on:
What HAS Palm Sunday meant?
What DOES Palm Sunday mean?
What WILL Palm Sunday mean to you?

As we approach Easter, Hannah Bartle continues our series through the Gospel of Luke. She is sharing about Luke's Good News on THE KINGDOM OF GOD from Luke 9's 'The Parable of the Ten Minas/Pounds'. Hannah sets out to answer 3 questions:
1. What is the Kingdom of God?
2. Who can be a part of it?
3. Who is the king?
"The kingdom of Jesus, when actually lived by the church, is a rebuke to the principalities and powers of this world, and it is a living manifestation of the truth of Jesus Christ." - Brian Zahnd

From Advent into Easter we are going through the Gospel of Luke. Today Mike is sharing about Luke's Good News on Humility from Luke 18:9. Jesus shares a parable about what it means to be justified, and Mike explains justification and how it has been misunderstood. Humility is the posture of deep communion with God. Reliant, grateful, and confident in Christ's love for us.
HEART POSTURE: Stay...
...honest
...humble
...depending
...gracious
...careful

This week we were delighted to be joined by Rich Hodge, who shared about Luke's Good News on FORGIVENESS. Rich Hodge has been a big part of YWAM international and has so much wisdom to share. Today he demonstrates the difference between salvidic forgiveness and relational or family forgiveness.
FORGIVENESS...
...in the mess of life
...restores dignity
...welcomes the broken
...is a journey
...has no enemies
