Re: Set to Remix

 

Setting, resetting, and remixing with Jesus who continually revives, restores and revitalises us!

SEEDS TO SOW: What’s your remix for 2025? What are you going to shake up, re-imagine and re-approach this year?

Read Nehemiah 8: 1-12

Re: Visit

We revisit scripture for repeat encounters throughout our lives. 

The process can be both sobering and enlivening, solemn and celebratory as it is in this reading! And it’s crucially important that — like in the reading — we make time to do it together, to support one another.

What helps you read, understand and get insights from the Bible?

Read Luke 4: 14-21

Re: Constituting

This part of the Gospel of Luke is sometimes referred to as ‘The Jesus Manifesto’, Jesus’s mission statement. 

How does Jesus’s constitution compare with our contemporary constitutions and mission statements? Does the description of his mission sound like the mission of our local churches?

Read Acts 16: 25-34

Re: Mixing

I tell you what, Paul and Silas’s hymn remixes but have had some welly! Never underestimate the power of singing! The breaking down of the wall leads to a remix of the situation — suddenly the prisoners are free and it is the jailer who is trapped, but Paul immediately releases him. What had been a situation of antagonism and fear has become one of togetherness and celebration. 

This is the Jesus remix. A vivid picture of how we are to sing it out, break down walls and transform relationships, bringing others into the place of Christ.

This year — what songs are we going to sing?

What walls are we going to break down?

And what relationships are we going to transform?
