Welcome to our Video Reflections Library
Welcome to our Video Reflections library. The videos here are a resource designed to help assist in your worship life. They are designed to be used in place of a Sunday worship service but can also be used in small group contexts.
Each reflection offers a unique opportunity to explore faith through engaging videos, supported by readings, questions for discussion, and a closing prayer. We invite you to delve into these resources, allowing them to inspire personal contemplation and enrich shared understanding within your community.
Throw the Nets in Again...Yes, Again!
Dan explores the themes of weariness, skepticism, and the transformative power of trusting in God’s abundance, drawing from the story of Jesus calling the fishermen in Luke 5. This reflection grapples with questions of how to respond when faced with feelings of depletion and stagnation, particularly within a church context. The ultimate challenge is to consider our own responses to God’s invitation, asking whether we operate from a mindset of scarcity or one of trust and possibility.
Embracing the Wilderness
Abi explores the concept of the wilderness in the Bible and in our lives. It challenges the common perception of the wilderness as a barren and desolate place, revealing it instead as a place of encounter with God, testing, and transformation. Using examples from the Bible, such as the Israelites’ journey, Hagar’s flight, Elijah’s retreat, and Jesus’ temptation, she illustrates how the wilderness is often a necessary place where God shows up, provides, and shapes our character.
Forgiveness
Lyn shares an incredible example of radical forgiveness she heard on the radio. As you listen, we invite you to imagine yourself in this challenging situation: How would you react? What would you do? This narrative prompts us to reflect on Biblical forgiveness, particularly as expressed by Jesus in Matthew 18 through the profound Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. What does true forgiveness look like?
Invited to Pray
Martin explores the heart of prayer – not just as a request, but as an invitation to co-labor with God. We’ll unpack the profound meaning behind “your kingdom come” and gain fresh insight into the Spirit’s role in intercession. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and find new avenues to deepen your connection with God through prayer.
