Today we begin a new series called Learning from Jesus. In it we will look at the way Jesus did life and explore how we as Jesus’ followers are both empowered by the Spirit and commanded by love to live as Jesus lived.

Today we begin with Jesus' baptism and his identity as one who is loved by God. It was the knowledge of this love that enabled Jesus to give his life away for the salvation of the world. Today we ask, how might we too live as the beloved of God.

Pastor Grishma will be sharing more about his ministry in Nepal - what God is doing there through our prayers and partnership.

Grishma is the senior pastor of Nayagaun church in Nepal, where he has been serving now for more than 30 years. Originally from a high-caste Hindu background, Grishma became a Christian after investigating Christianity closely in an attempt to disprove it. He was especially impressed by Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), and so put his trust in Jesus despite intense family pressure. Today his church of 1000 people has planted 11 churches with which he retains links. Several Australian CMS missionaries are part of the Nayagaun church and work in fellowship with him and his wife Laxmi. Grishma is the International Speaker for CMS Summer Conferences in January 2020.

God has always taken the initiative going out in love to us, drawing us into his presence and abiding with us. This presence of God brings an end to fear, loneliness, alienation, sadness, bitterness and guilt. We come to God through the Son because Jesus removed those things that separated us from God on the Cross, so the Father, Son and Spirit come to us, reveal themselves to us, pour their love into our hearts by living in us, abiding with us and therefore transforming us. Knowing and being known by God enables us to live a true life full of joy, love and hope.

Along with the joy and excitement, the New Year will have its share of trials, challenges and “storms”. But if we look to Christ and how he has overcome the great storm, we will be able to face our own trials with courage, with our eyes fixed on our Saviour.
