From rebellion to new life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we are celebrating Naomi’s baptism – turning from her old life and stepping into new life in Christ. Martin shares some reflections on the importance of baptism and the difference it makes in our lives. We’re naturally inclined to rebel – against authority and God – that’s what sin.

In one, Jesus says we are the light of the world, illuminating the dark corners and bringing the light of Christ to our communities and beyond. The second passage confirms that our light is merely a reflection of His – our light is more than doing good, it points people towards Jesus. Whether a floodlight or a modest night light, whatever you are called to,
Freedom from being slaves to the law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With reference to our feelings to authority figures, Martin unpacks the challenge of the negative impact of the law. The law reminds us of what we have done wrong and where we have failed. It draws attention to the very thing that keeps us from God. The law was given to help God’s people live distinctively and reveals God’s light to others.
