Christian Life Church Shipley

Adam shares his personal journey through the last 12 months. Anxiety, grief, God's goodness and keeping power. There are keys in here for all of us.

Oneness with Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Adam shares how we have experienced the holding power of God, and how we will fly into the new coming season.

'Before we enter a new season, we must transition well from the current one.'

Why do 'living in community' and 'efficiency' rarely work well together? And who needs this many hedge trimmers??

'Share together. Not because you don't have your own, or can do it alone... but because you're choosing to be in community.'

Maybe 'independence'could be renamed 'desperately awaiting reconnection'... Watch Anna's song 'I AM' from midway through this teaching here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/dErTTZbtwHPEKHVd/

Built into a spiritual house, standing together, reminding each other of God's goodness.

Who'd put a foot and an ear together though?

'For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have'

'Father, thank you that in my brokenness I am becoming more unique.'

Jars of clay, oil on water & stillness in the storm...

'Family is the place of our deepest hurt and our deepest healing'

Where are our strongest emotional bonds? Where is the greatest school for the love of Jesus?

Loving our neighbour is not enough...

Moving from 'The community for myself' to 'Myself for the community'

'Community is loved drenched accountability'

The disciples probably hated each others guts to start with... but they had ONE thing in common… Jesus is MORE than enough to build community around.

'Come be a part of my life.' It's not just the event, it's the power of the invitation. We are devoted to LEARNING, SHARING, EATING and WORSHIPPING together.

'Building community takes the continuous choice of every individual within it'
