“And so maybe, what Jesus is saying in this story is that in his kingdom, people from anywhere on this hierarchy of privilege are worth the same.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/rosalie-27_10_2019.mp3  

“The Authentic Community we see Jesus build isn’t a Temple for some, but a table for all, where your need makes you worthy and your brokenness is your offering.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/anthony-13_10_2019.mp3  

“Generosity is perspective which transforms apathy to passion. It transforms fear to vision. It transforms vision to justice.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/matt-22_09_2019.mp3

“Generosity shows the character of God. Radical generosity shows the power of God.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/kerrie-15_09_2019.mp3

“It’s important to give freely, without expectation of reward.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/sam-8_09_2019.mp3

“Generosity is not a single act, or something you look back on, it is a posture. It is a way of life. It is a spirit of generosity. Even when you don’t feel like it. Even when you don’t get it in return. Even when it doesn’t make sense. It will look different for each of us. Because we are sharing ourselves, in our own ways. Just like Jesus does.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/kelly-1_09_2019.mp3

“What would change if we started to see our following the Spirit of God, following Jesus, as an adventure?” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/joel-25_08_2019.mp3

“Deep spirituality is not deeper religion. Deep spirituality is meeting with God outside of religion. Deep spirituality is knowing that God is in the world as much as he is in the temple. Deep spirituality is meeting with God in all things, and all people.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/anthony-18_08_2019-1.mp3  

“Spirituality is not a ‘goal’ to achieve, it’s the very experience of encountering God in relationship and community – partnering with others in moments which excite us, teach us and renew us!” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/matt-11_08_2019.mp3

“Spirituality is not about achieving any external measure of wholeness, value or ‘normality’. It is the pursuit of freedom in the security of immeasurable love leading to being able to truly love others which is only possible when you no longer need their approval or validation.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/brad-4_08_2019.mp3

“I could see the penny start to drop as she started to see a new way of believing that didn’t reduce following Jesus down to a lifestyle package.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/kerrie-28_07_2019.mp3

“As we do this together, as each of us brings our unique sound to the symphony, a wonderful experience of God’s kingdom unfolds.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/joel-21_07_2019.mp3

“Just because the Kingdom of God is hidden among us it doesn’t mean that it is found in us alone. I am not the Kingdom of God nor are you. The kingdom of God is revealed in our togetherness and through the way we love each other. We don’t have a monopoly on the Kingdom of God, there are glimpses all around us.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/kelly-14_07_2019.mp3

“Your kingdom and God’s kingdom are deceptively very similar in appearance. The difference is who is sitting on the throne.” – Ralph Mayhew https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/kerrie-23_06_2019.mp3

“This idea, that the kingdom of God is in us and within us, doesn’t just apply to us at Activate. It is true of all of us, all humans at all times and in all places.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/rosalie-16_06_2019.mp3

“In the Parable of the Hidden Treasure, Jesus describes a Kingdom that is found among the worlds already built. This isn’t the world of colonisation, the world of capital, or the world of class and inequality. These are the worlds we see everyday, inherit, live beneath. Jesus speaks about a new way of life, a new world – the world of God – already here, hidden in the earth, in the dirt. There if we look for it.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/anthony-23_06_2019.mp3

“Community gathers us, renews us and spurs us onward. Fellowship calls us to participate in the rhythm of serving others, inspired by Jesus’ example.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/matt-26_05_2019.mp3

Jesus comes into this world of hate and betrayal and is doused in perfume as an act of love. Jesus affirms love, I’m choosing to follow!   https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/activate-19-may-19.mp3

“Mary’s life was profoundly changed by being Jesus’ mother. Of course, all mothers are profoundly changed by their children, but Mary’s experience also included a spiritual journey.” https://activatechurchwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/rosalie-12_05_2019.mp3
