Faith Runs Deep: Study 3, Reconciliation

The Study 3 in a series titled "Faith Runs Deep".

Australia’s history is complex and contentious. In this episode, Karl says, ‘The history of the treatment of the Indigenous people of this land is an awful story…’ and yet, there is so much we don’t know, that we’ve never been taught.

• What you know of the history of early colonisation in Australia.
• How do you feel about our country’s history? And how has it been portrayed?
• Given that 58% of First Nations people claim Christianity, how can you connect with these brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you know your local Indigenous churches?
• List the ways you can explore being part of the reconciliation conversation. Analyse your list: are they personal interactions, church connections, corporate/business activities, or political involvement? Choose one (or more) of these to act on.

Faith Runs Deep: Study 2, The God of the Second Chance

The Study 2 in a series titled "Faith Runs Deep".

Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie were counter-cultural in their day. They believed that convicts who had finished their sentence were no longer of the ‘criminal class’ but people who could be forgiven, restored, and given a fair go. To understand why, we need to understand the Jesus they trusted in.
As Christians we are saved by an even greater act. Jesus died and rose again to free us from a greater penalty.

• Consider a time you were given a second chance. What was it like? How did it impact you?
• Are there people in your life who deserve a second chance, from you or others?
• How does this episode help you consider offering others that second chance?
• What could you do this week to show that to someone?
