    In a surprising turn of events, Julien opened up our new series with Lectio365. During the Season of Lent we'll be joining with other 24-7 Prayer churches worldwide to explore scripture and the witness of the Desert Fathers and Mothers. They were a radical counter-cultural movement that chose to live, work and pray away from civilised society, in the foreboding desert landscape during the third and fourth centuries AD. Far from being irrelevant to our situation today, the Desert Fathers and Mothers understood persecution, craved solitude and silence is a busy, noisy culture, and deeply desired the church to return to the teaching and lifestyle of Jesus and his disciples.   For us, the next forty days of Lent are a time to enter the wilderness with Christ, to push into prayer and deepen our spiritual formation. What better companions could there be for such a journey than these ancient, desert-dwelling, prayer warriors, whose witness echoes down the ages, and whose wisdom remains so relevant to our l

    On Sunday, John-Mark continued our series "Foolish Wisdom: A Study in First Corinthians." Paul's first letter to the Christians in the city of Corinth contains his thoughts on the good news of Jesus as God's "foolish wisdom." Paul's radical faith in the crucified Saviour challenges its hearers in the 1st and 21st Centuries. What insight and encouragement might we gain from "listening in" to Paul's five "essays" as we think about responding to the challenges of our own time: both within the Church and in Western culture?   To visit our teaching notes: https://stclair.substack.com/

On Sunday, Pastor J-M continued our series "The Mission Has A Church Pt. II." Churches in North America (and the West more generally) have been in a period of decline for many years.  The wider culture continues the project of secularism - the adoption of new ways of thinking, believing and being that are pointedly not Christian. How should Christians respond to these widespread cultural changes?  Rather than reacting with fear (that leads to either fighting the culture or fleeing from it), another hopeful option is available: the recovery of the Mission of God as a way to understand the Trinity, the Bible, the Church, our relationship to culture and the nature of Christian justice and witness. Join us as we unpack the helpful ways a recovery of a missional perspective invites us into the work God is already doing in the world. To visit our Teaching Notes: https://stclair.substack.com/
