BANTER - Vision Sunday ’23

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack last Sunday's sermon. 
The boys are back and coming at you with some exciting updates on what to expect this year in church and on BANTER. They chat around the context Hebrews was written in, the pastoral team's process in discerning God's heart for The Centre in 2023, and how their Chrissy wish lists panned out.

Vision Sunday - Mitch Levingston

"18 so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which enters within the veil,"(Hebrews 6:18-19) 
Mitch announces the pastoral team vision for 2023, exciting new ministries starting at The Centre, and 3 ways we can all help to make Jesus the centre of our community through Play, Prayer and Presence.

The Great Omission - Pete Ong

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20) 
Has the Great Commission been sidelined in the modern church? Pete reminds us of the importance Jesus placed in the Great Commission and challenges each of us to reengage in this ancient exhortation.

The Power of Prayer - Emily Lambert

“The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply." (Matthew 6:7-8 (MSG)) 
Would you call yourself a "prayer warrior"? Emily helps to release us from the burden we can often feel around prayer and points us towards simple truths of how prayer is made accessible to all.

The Temple - Thomas Groves

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own" (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Thomas leads us on a journey, following the theme of God's Temple from the opening pages of the Bible all the way to its final chapter in Revelation.

When God Calls - Sue Webb

10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 And God said, “I will be with you." (Exodus 3:10-12a) 
Sue highlights the ways in which we are all Called, Sent, and Given Authority by God to do His work.

An Awful Silence - Saturday

This week, instead of talking, we're going to be listening.
In solidarity with Zechariah, come back each day this week and sit in the silence. Each day we'll do 9 minutes – 1 minute for every month Zechariah sat in silence.

Today's readings are from Isaiah 42:13-14 & Revelation 7:17 - 8:1-2, 6.
