To Be Like Jesus Podcasts

Leading up to the beginning of his message on the anointing, George gave an unplanned yet inspired message about depression and Christianity. George discusses the process of the anointing in our lives. How much do we give ourselves to allowing God to do His perfect work in us? Are we able to trust God while going through emotionally painful times?

Peacemaking is not passive. We can choose to be a person that brings peace, rather than slicing people’s ears off. Shane shows us the background to the story of Paul’s actions prior to Jesus’ arrest. He also highlights and explains other actions taken in those days and their relevance to today. What if the cross was God saying, ‘How far do I have to go to get you all to get along?’

There is nothing passive about Jesus’ love for us. It runs very deeply. Where is our awareness when it comes to this love and the most important relationship we will ever have? Have we allowed Jesus to change our lives so much that we live out of Him rather than our past? George touches on areas of our life that include depression and anxiety.

Pursuit of a goal shouldn’t be because of a lack in us, but driven by our passion or our dreams for our future. The constant push to have something we don’t in the 21st century is symbolised by the fact that you can even purchase bot followers and likes on Instagram. We want to feel equal to other ‘popular’ people. Placing focus on what we don’t have is destructive to us. Our community looks to members of the church. They are looking at our character before they listen to our words.
