One War, Many Battles

8 September 2022 By David Trounce

One Battle at a Time - Sermo Humilis

The demands of Jesus for loyalty are total. He is the Lord of Lords. But if we try and deal with those demands in total, we are quickly overwhelmed. It is no different to our anxiety over clothes and food. If I begin to contemplate how I will feed my family several kilos of … [Read more...] about One War, Many Battles

Unity

Words that Matter - Unity - Sermo Humilis

I spoke to some primary school children a while back about a popular song by Guy Sebastian called, “Get Along”. The chorus ran, Dear God, dear soul, dear mary, Muhammad, Can we all just get along?

Fight Shy - Sermo Humilis

Sometimes, Jesus stood toe-to-toe with those who opposed Him. Sometimes He slipped away to avoid a clash (John 8:59). In battle, it's known as fighting shy. It's not a mark of defeat but a tactical manoeuvre. Withdrawal lets you catch your breath, duck for cover and refuel. It … [Read more...] about Fighting Shy

Jesus, The Battle for Mercy

8 December 2019 By David Trounce

26 Jesus, The Battle for Mercy - The Life and Times of Jesus

The first request in the Lord's prayer is a call to war. In order for the Kingdom of God to come, your kingdom must go. Surrender or defeat, these are our options. This is the kind of defeat that Christians are called to pray for. The kind that brings about the triumph of … [Read more...] about Jesus, The Battle for Mercy
