December Podcast - Waiting for God

The thing about advent is that it's a chance for God to challenge what we're looking at, and to place us in a bigger picture, to help us understand how we fit in His story, to live waiting in anticipation of the kingdom coming. Let's offer God an opportunity to reset our perspectives again today.

And why shouldn't we worry that there might not be enough? Why can Jesus say "do not be anxious about your life"? Why shouldn't these concerns unsettle us? Because of what God is like. Because of what He thinks of us.

Live in a way that demonstrates where our heart is. Letting our lifestyles give the game away about who and what we treasure, about what's important.

He asks us to treasure and prioritise the things He treasures.

Jesus' words to the disciples about not worrying are not just advocating a carefree life, they actually challenge priorities and expectations and perspectives at the heart of our lives and those around us.
