Each child is unique, and worthy – because of Jesus and who He is! This week we will contrast two stories from 1 Samuel 2:12-17, 22-25 & 3:1-10, that highlight what all children are worthy of, and how as disciples of Jesus we can be part of the story God is writing in their lives.
Worthy Part 5: Friends Are Worthy - SJ Riley
Papsda Pulpit
09/24/24 • 25 min
While we might consider ourselves grown up in many ways, something we can all do better at is our friendships. This isn’t just about choosing wisely who we spend our time with, it’s also about who we are as a friend to others. This week we continue in our “Worthy” series by exploring friendship through the story of Jonathan and his armour-bearer (1 Samuel 14:1-14).
Worthy Part 4: Vows Are Worthy - Mike Sikuri
Papsda Pulpit
09/17/24 • 24 min
There is no doubt that God values relationships. It is something we see throughout the pages of the Bible and it’s evident in how He seeks out connection with us. In the beginning God valued marriage and family so much that He created a perfect environment and then introduced Adam and Eve to that environment. This Sabbath we explore God’s picture of love through the context of marriage.
Worthy Part 3: You... Are Worthy - Willie Iererua
Papsda Pulpit
09/10/24 • 23 min
We know that Jesus is worthy. And because of that, there is an incredible value He places on our lives, too! We don’t have to build our identity from ourselves or comparing with others. God sees US as worthy. This Sabbath we build a framework to uphold and grow the worth that God has over our lives.
Make Room Part 2: Stopping - Keryn McCutcheon
Papsda Pulpit
05/14/24 • 30 min
Where we start in our relationship with Jesus, strongly determines the way we live life. This week we are exploring the practise of Stopping, (yes you heard correctly) in order to position ourselves in the best starting place to make room for our relationship with God.
Discussion Question - Luke 10:38-42 (also John 12:1-3)
Getting Started:
Share a time when you needed to, or were brought to a STOP, that changed the direction of
your life?
Digging Deeper – Luke 10:38-42 (also John 12:1-3)
- Describe the 2 perspectives of the sisters. In your current relationship with Jesus, do you
most connect with the experience of Mary or Martha?
- What are some of the ‘distractions’ (they may be good or unhelpful) that show up for you
regularly?
- In the passage in Luke we see Martha serving, discuss some of the feelings and attitudes she
most likely was having that led to her encounter with Jesus?
- In the passage in John we see Mary serving, discuss some of the feelings and attitudes she
most likely was having that led to her encounter with Jesus?
- Why do you think STOPPING to sit at Jesus feet is the ‘one thing’, the ‘better’ thing that Jesus
commends Mary for, and encourages Martha and us to do?
How To Apply This:
- Of the 3 postures forSTOPPING (To sit at Jesus feet. To stand back to reflect. To face
forward to refocus) which do you feel the Holy Spirit inviting you to adopt, to prepare
for the next season of your discipleship journey?
- Mary was deliberate, shocking even claiming to be a disciple by sitting at Jesus feet;
what deliberate, bold and obvious way can you MAKE ROOM and demonstrate your
desire to be a disciple of Jesus this week?

In a world consumed by the noise of life we can easily forget both the power and necessity of quietness.

In this passage, Jesus shares on the need for self-denial and sacrifice in following Him. He highlights that true life is found in losing one's life for His sake and questions the value of worldly gain if it costs one's soul for eternity.

Our society proclaims messages of ‘if it feels good do it”, or “live YOUR truth”, which fly in opposition to God’s truth and ways.
