In this morning’s message, Steph dives into what true discipleship looks like—moving past rigid discipline and stepping into the overwhelming, cascading love of God highlighted in Ephesians.
Reflecting on Jesus washing the disciples' feet at the Last Supper, we are reminded of His ultimate commandment: "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
Unity Over Uniformity: God commands a blessing where there is unity (Psalm 133). Loving the wider church across Tonbridge doesn't mean we have to agree on everything; it means honouring our differences and serving together so God’s blessing can flow.
Driven by Agape, Not Fear: The church should be known for what it stands for (love, honour, and servant-heartedness) rather than what it stands against. Perfect love drives out the fear that divides us.
The Body Needs Every Part: Just like psychometric testing shows how differently our brains work, the church needs diverse expressions—from tradition to the prophetic—to reflect the full character of God.

God, how much do you love me?
Give me an opportunity to love someone I find difficult.
