Jane spoke to “ Reaching out for depth - water in the wilderness “ looking at Matthew 13:1-9 and 18-23. The talk explores the nature of what and who we are rooted into and that we are to strive for depth in our lives with God. The need too to follow the example of Jesus if we want to be true children. Of having stability but without being too settled.

Jane spoke to Matthew 5:1-12 from the Sermon on the Mount and focused on verse 9. The talk looks at reaching out through peace for “those who work for peace ..shall be called sons of God.” How we become peacemakers (through the ministry of reconciliation Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 5:17,18) which is now part of the DNA as Christian believers to be ready and equipped ( Ephesians 6:15) with the good news of peace.

The text is Judges 7:1-22 , covering the story of Gideon. This is the back drop for the talk by Jane. This subject is reaching out by standing out and looks at dissent and practical living in the 21st century using the way Gideon had to stand out against idolatry in his own family, acts of defiance against the oppressors, and, though weak, how he was enabled by God .Jane looked and compared idols of Gideon’s time and ours and how, in following Jesus, that we and churches must speak the truth and call others to become followers of the Way.
