Bishop Graham draws on Paul's Letter to the Ephesians: when we are root our lives deeply in Christ's love we can achieve more than we could ever have asked or imagined.
Paul reminds the the gentiles that Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has broken the walls of enmity and division between God and between his people. We are all, because of this, one family of God, a new creation, a new humanity.
Catharina draws on the contrast between the humble, servant-hearted Mordecai and the angry, hate-filled Haman. When we allow God to work through us, we can find the peace and humility of Mordecai, whatever challenges we face.
Ben examines the challenges faced by Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites across the River Jordan and compares them to the challenges people face today.
We come together in fellowship and learn about the goodness of God. We pray that God transforms us. We serve God and one another. We join with others. We give so that no-one is in need.

When we show generosity we cease to be owned by our possessions. When we give our hearts are free and unburdened and open to trust Jesus Christ our Lord.
