Welcome to the audio podcast of Gracecity, a community of faith in Auckland New Zealand. Every Sunday, we‘ve got a life-giving message for you.

We challenge division and participate in a community that empowers and equips people to live out their faith in our world. We see no line between faith and life, believing that at work, home and church, God is working in us and through us.

If God really loved me ….. You’re in a job you love, then made redundant, in a romantic relationship you thought was going somewhere, then it’s all over. When it’s not our plan, we believe it can’t be God’s plan either. All of us at different times and in different circumstances, aren’t fully convinced that God deeply loves us and has plans that are the best for us. But what if we’re wrong, we run away from God when we need to run to him. What do you do when all you want to do is run?

Every sports coach has a different game plan, so players need to adapt and change. The one thing that never changes is the purpose of the game — play to win! In our changing world, our experience of the church must adapt and change. Let’s not put our practices ahead of God’s purpose. Jesus’ life demonstrated love, acceptance and forgiveness for everyone. This purpose is still central, no one is excluded or disqualified, and there’s a place for everyone.

It’s easier to understand people who look like us, speak like us and think like us. Yet if that’s our only lens for life, we miss out on the richness diversity can bring. Diversity is more than culture and ethnicity it’s a way of life. God’s heart for the church is for people from every nation, tribe, people-group, language, all worshipping Jesus together.

Can I really make a difference? We all long for purpose, we want our lives to matter, our efforts to count for something. We can’t do this alone! God designed us to work together with others. Just like a sports team, every player in their position, the whole team wins. It’s not a solo game! The local church is not a solo game either, it’s designed to have everyone play their unique role, working together to make a difference. Discover your unique contribution and know for sure you do make a difference.

People who knew him and knew about him thought so. They saw the difference Jesus had made in their lives. His truth was radical, yet personal. This dynamic movement called the early church spread from house to house, attracting people of all walks of life. What’s changed? Can we rediscover what the early church knew? What seismic shift do we need to experience in 2022?

If you had more money to give away would you do it? Most people would say yes, but in reality, probably wouldn’t. This is simply because there is a difference between someone who gives and someone who is generous. Generosity doesn’t have to be big gifts that cost a lot of money. There are simple ways to become generous, happier and to make a difference in this world. Are you generous?

Doing what we know is comfortable, predictable–it’s normal. Normal isn’t bad, but what if God doesn’t want us to go back to the way it was? He helps us see opportunity through disruption. What do we need to do differently?

We know every car needs the right fuel to run. Even when the car is fueled or charged up, it doesn’t go anywhere until the ignition is turned. Did you know that as people, we also need the right sort of fuel or power to live as our creator intended? How do you access this power? It’s a seismic shift.
