Service 17 August 2025

Luke 12:49-56 Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in today’s reading, Jesus declares he brings division, not peace. It is challenging our understanding of discipleship. True discipleship involves radical commitment, often leading to separation from cultural norms. Like the daughters of Zelophehad who challenged unjust traditions, following Jesus may cause controversy, but it’s necessary for entering God’s new time and space. In today’s secular world, Christian identity can feel unfamiliar, yet we are called to live as new creations, proclaiming the gospel through service and integrity. Division, though uncomfortable, can be a sign of transformation and faithfulness to God’s mission.
