REPENT. It's one of those words you hear most often from wacko Christians on busy corners in the city, yelling to "REPENT!". It's a word that can make you cringe. But at the heart of this word, is something beautiful.
Tim finishes our 2 Corinthians series, unpacking how God is ready and willing to forgive you, and encourages us all to "chuck a U-ie", and repent. Find out more about St John's at https://stjohnsdc.org.au

The God of Hard Times || Tim Johnson || 2 Corinthians 6:3-13
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
If you've been investigating Jesus and Christianity but find the behaviour of Christians a stumbling block, look more closely at Jesus. The only criteria of being a Christian is to admit that we've stuffed up, and aren't perfect people. We are called to be like Jesus, but will always struggle to do so.
Paul, the writer of 2 Corinthians, seeks to not be a stumbling block for others. Through all kinds of struggles and hard times, Paul says to show ourselves as servants of God, showing our hope in Jesus by the love that we show in our lives.

The God who Reconciles || Julie Blinco || 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2

This weeks service hit a couple of technical issues, so you'll notice the video stuttering. Sorry!
Paul writes to the church in Corinth to not take the grace of God for granted. He uses plain language, without flowery language or big words to show the gospel plainly: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." Jesus was blameless, but was given the blame for us. God wants to be friends with us, in constant relationship. All of us at some stage though, have turned our back on God.
Julie continues our God Through 2 Corinthians series.

The God Who Raises the Dead || Andi Fidock || 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Paul's letter to the church in Corinth describes human bodies as clay jars in chapter 4, and in chapter 5, as tents in which we are burdened and groan. The bible tells us that we will live in an eternal house in heaven - much better than a tent!
Trainee Youth Minister Andi continues our God Through 2 Corinthians series exploring what it means to be raised to a new body, and what we do while we wait in these temporary tents.

The God of Life and Freedom || Kirk Mackenzie || 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

We all have rules in our lives that dictate to a certain extent how we live our lives. Right now, in the lockdown, we have many extra rules going on as well. Some people are sticklers for rules - they love 'em, and will take them even further than originally intended. Others though, look for loopholes and ways to skirt the rules. In the Bible, we have two sections, the Old Testament, and New Testament - before Jesus came, and after. In Jesus, we have someone who is faithful to the promises of God in a way that humanity never could. Kirk continues our series God Through 2 Corinthians looking at 2 Corinthians 3:1-18.

What do you smell like? One of Julie's coworkers (who'll remain nameless) thinks that coriander smells like hate. And he's totally right. It's awful. So why does Paul, in his letter 2 Corinthians suggest that to some, the good news of Jesus smells like death? Julie continues our God Through 2 Corinthians series looking at 2 Corinthians 2:5-17.
