Current series | The Truth

You may have heard: Truth is stranger than fiction.’ ‘The truth hurts.’ ‘The truth will set you free.’ You may have been told: … ‘Speak your truth’ or even, ‘you can’t handle the truth!’. ‘What is truth?’ That is the question Pilate posed 2000 years ago. That is the question that continues to be asked today. Despite what you have heard or been told, truth is not a power play that belongs to the elite for controlling the masses. It is not whatever you want it to be or whatever is true for you. The truth does not change. It is absolute. It is certain. It is exclusive. It transcends generations, traverses cultures, and transforms lives, communities, and nations. This Easter, join us and discover the Truth, experience the Truth, and celebrate the Truth!

About Us

Dear LifeWay family,

What an amazing journey LifeWay has been on so far. To see God’s power at work through ordinary people, prepared to move, serve and do ministry together is wonderfully exciting. To see the unity, generosity, and faith-filled willingness to ‘have a go’ is truly inspiring. It is incredibly humbling to be part of a community who are

LIVING Jesus' love | SHARING His hope with all | GROWING in grace together

So are you ready to ‘take-off’ on the next decade of our journey at LifeWay and see what God has planned for us and through us? You are not here by accident. God has led you to this place, at this time, with your gifts to be part of realising the vision to which he has called us. To be A vibrant, multi-ethnic Christian Church equipping and empowering disciples of all ages in advancing his Kingdom locally and globally, by living fully, sharing boldly, and growing purposefully in the life-transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

God has given you a boarding pass to go on a journey:

- Beyond where you have been before.

- Beyond the limits you have imposed on yourselves.

- Beyond the limits you have let others impose on you.

For as we believe the truth of Jesus, practice the way of Jesus, and grow in the life of Jesus we can step out boldly in faith and trust knowing: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 2 Corinthians 2:9

ONE MISSION ... making disciples of all nations

ONE COMMUNITY ... serving and impacting in multiple locations

MANY JOURNEYS ... celebrating each person’s unique giftedness

TOGETHER – living, sharing and growing

LifeWay, you’re cleared for Take-Off! Which plane will you board? What stopovers will you make? How far will you let his love take you?

God, prepare our hearts for what you have for us next and give us a heart of faith to go where you call us to go. Amen.

For minds on Jesus

Does mindfulness improve our wellbeing? Can it be practised within a Christian worldview? Can it be Christ-Centred? Yes.

Leading academic and experienced mental health worker Dr Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and draws on the rich Christian tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life.

“Christ-centred mindfulness is expanding the idea of mindfulness not just so it focuses on ourselves, but on God and ourself at the same time.” Author, Dr Katherine Thompson

Today's verse & thought to ponder ...

19

MAR

LUKE 1:1-4

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
