Other themes
All teachingsLove and Forgiveness
The radical, costly, unconditional love Jesus both taught and embodied — and the forgiveness he extended freely and called his followers to extend in turn.
Prayer and Stillness
Jesus withdrew often to pray. He taught his disciples how to pray. These teachings explore the practice of honest, unhurried communion with God.
Inner Transformation
Not rules but renewal. Jesus came to clean the inside of the cup — to work a deep change in the heart that flows naturally outward into a transformed life.
Humility and Service
The last shall be first. The greatest shall be servant of all. Jesus modelled a way of power that the world has never fully understood — and calls us to do the same.
Faith and Trust
Consider the lilies. Do not worry about tomorrow. Jesus called his followers to a deep, settled trust in the goodness of God — even when circumstances say otherwise.
