The message of Christmas really is good news of great joy - this year we do not need to be afraid because God is with us.

At Christmas it's easy to miss the significance of the baby in the manger. This year, why not meet Jesus personally?

We have a God who is incredibly relational. He invites us to be adopted into His family - the closest, warmest and most secure relationship in existence.

Life is so often frustrating, full of searching for 'more,' full of empty unsatisfaction! What can we do to satisfy our longings for real lasting relationships?

Jesus is a Bridegroom. He offers Himself in amazing love - will we be transformed by Him?

John's Gospel talks a lot about 'belief.' We tend to see faith as on/off, but Jesus shows us that believing in Him is so much deeper.

Jesus offers true life- to the full. What does that life with Jesus like? At the launch of His ministry Jesus shows us His glory- his kindness and love, at a wedding!

Whatever our biggest fear is, Jesus is in control. He has the power and desire to save us. (This is the final part of a talk at a family service)

We need to be transformed and Jesus is the One who promises to do it. What happens when people start to meet Jesus?

Life is a mess - we fall short of even our own standards! The task of life-change is huge - but that is precisely what Jesus offers to us. Look up to who God really is.

Jesus, the eternal Son of God, became a human being. That means we can truly understand what God is like, without having to use guesswork but just by looking into the face of Jesus.

John tells us why Jesus came. And the reason is truly life-changing: Jesus came into our world to share his life with us.

Jesus offers us more than we expect and so much more than we deserve.

As humans we tend to care 'inwardly', about people that are close to us. But God is an 'outward' God - a God who loves the world. Matthew 28 / Acts 1

Luke 10:25-37 'Reaching out' is not common in our world but it is totally at the heart of who God is. We want to be like Jesus in His life-giving generosity. What will that be like?

There's lots of talk about the world coming together but it is seemingly unachievable. God will bring people from every nation truly together.

This Psalm is about unity. Unity is a blessing on us from above, that blesses others.

God transforms lives. These Psalms join together to give us a picture of what His transformation looks like - forgiveness from beginning to end.

It's common for us to live and work within two extremes: self-reliant perseverance, and lazy inertia. Both are fruit of a fallen world. Today's Psalm on the other hand shows us a true and reassuring solution.

This Psalm tells us about about the difference it makes to remember God's past grace when we are feeling discouraged or distant or cold spiritually.

What do we need to know on our journey this week? The LORD is on your side. He has brought us to today and we can trust Him for tomorrow.

God cares for His people at every time and in every area of life. No matter how wicked or far away we are, God constantly keeps us.

Our worship reflects the One we worship - especially as church. Our God is a lover and sharer. Christians don't have to chase God on a Sunday. We can be in His Presence, with full access, all week! [1 Chronicles 16]

Jesus invites us to be a church that keeps our eyes on God, trusting that He's our Father and that He will provide for us everything we need.

What is treasure and what happens to it? In this part of our short series we see Jesus challenge our priorities. The things we treasure won't necessarily last for eternity. [Matthew 6:19-24]
