Faith Matters
Last Week both Year 9 and Year 5 participated in their Leadership Day. Both groups explored and reflected on the qualities need to be a leader. They unpacked the importance of servant leadership and Jesus being our true role model of Leadership.
Season of Advent
This Sunday marks the beginning of Advent. This time with in the Church’s year that we prepare for the coming of Christmas.
Scripture John 1:1-3, 14 (RSV)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.”
Reflection
The ‘Word’ is alive. God became man. This is the identity of Jesus the Christ! Everything that came to be, came about through Jesus. He is the Word. This is our belief. The God of the universe, out of love, created you to live a life of love with Him. From love, for love. God’s word speaks life and truth, but what do our words speak? We recognise God by His fruit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22). The absence of these: use, despair, confusion, malice, wickedness, faithlessness, viscousness, revulsion. Are the fruits of your life of God? Or do you need to make a change?
Amen
