Sitting at the table for the Last Supper, the disciples start arguing about which one of them is greater. We long for power. We want to be in control. We want to know we have all it takes to overcome any obstacle without needing help. So, we seek physical power (gym) and vitality; we seek spiritual power (manifesting). Jesus turned power dynamics on their head. Ours is the only God who died on the cross to serve others. Jesus wants us to be free from the desire for power, and to find that freedom by trusting him enough to lay our lives down for one another. Speaker: Tim McConnell

How to Get What You Want: Value
Jesus often asked those he cured, “What do you want me to do for you?” It was important to have them express their desires and gain clarity over their true wants. The blind man wanted to see, but he also wanted to be seen. The most pressing need we all feel is to be seen, valued and loved. These may be three different but interconnected things. We want to be seen, so we run after instant fame (YouTube; Instagram). We want to be valued, so we strive desperately at work or in relationships (a ‘try hard’). We want to be loved; we put great value on our physical appearance. Jesus sees and delights, values and treasures, loves and knows. In Jesus we are fully known and fully loved. Speaker: John Goodale

How to Get What You Want: Peace
The rich young ruler does not find peace. He is like the seed in the Parable that falls among weeds, cares and concerns of the world choke out his peace. We long for peace, both outer and inner peace. Outer peace desires push us to set up confidence in money for security. Inner peace pushes people to spiritual practices (yoga; meditation). Where is peace truly found? Even Peter expresses worry about provision. Jesus says, put your confidence in me. True peace, inner and outer, comes with submission and trust in God and his coming Kingdom. Speaker: Tim McConnell
