After the Resurrection, Luke describes what happened next. Will things be different?

As Luke records three final episodes, he indirectly suggests at least three responses from those who hear about the resurrection. Let’s consider them.

You don’t need me to tell you that the device in your pocket is changing the way you think. Here we consider how to use our phones as we live the real Christian life.

You won’t have been a Christian for very long before you realised that you need to belong to a church. And yet you won’t have been part of that church for very long before you realised that it can be quite tough being properly a part of it. So why bother with the local church?

What is worship? For Christians, worship is a proper, whole-life response to what God has done in sending Jesus Christ. Listen in.

Here’s someone who is reflecting on their life. They see something amazing that is directly linked to their commitment to God’s word. Listen in.

Let’s allow the Lord's firm Word to give us an extraordinary ballast. Like it does every time we stop, open it, actually listen to what it says. Here in this part of Psalm 119, there are two stabilising song-stanzas, each beginning with the word forever .

The bible is showing us that those who’ll follow the Lord can keep their fingers tightly pressed onto God’s word, even in the darkest of times. Listen in to this message from Psalm 119:81-88.

The songwriter gives us a surprising insight here in this part of Psalm 119: affliction may actually serve a good purpose in the lives of God's people. Listen in.

The writer of this song describes what he has learnt from his lived experience. He describes it in two instalments. What has he learned? What is the good life all about?

Christians underestimate their vulnerability to being scammed. What’s so life-changing about the gospel that makes the scam so disastrous? Listen as this message from the entire letter to the Galatians compels us to live and share the life-changing gospel.

There is one life-defining event that must mark our lives. The cross of Christ.

Getting the gospel right will transform our relationships with each other.

Christians who make up local churches need to take steps towards one another.

Listen closely to the second song Luke records in his opening chapter. Listen to how it meets us in our universal desperate longing for a saviour.

This is a moment when a Christmas song might move you. This one (by Mary) was included as part of Luke’s project to give us certainty about Jesus. Listen in and consider your response.

How will you respond to the arrival of another Christmas? You’ll hear lots of different calls. Luke’s is different; the real call of Christmas is to accept the salvation that Jesus the Saviour offers to you.

John describes the wonder of the Incarnation pointing to the the birth of Jesus as a light shining in the darkness. Remarkably, Jesus' birth offers the gift of a new birth to everyone else. Listen to this Christmas message as you reflect on your own response.

If you are in any way intrigued by Jesus and the radical impact some people seem to testify about, listen carefully to what Jesus said to Nicodemus.

You will see that this is a very practical part of the Bible here in Galatians 5:13-26. One that answers the question: How should we live? How should we live as followers of Christ?

Will you trust in Christ alone for your salvation? Or will you trust something else?

This message from the Bible is for you if you wish you knew how it would feel to be free. As we come to one of the most famous lines in the letter, listen to how Galatians explains and declares that Jesus Christ sets free all those who come to trust in him.

The emotion in the Apostle Paul's voice in this paragraph drives you and me to ask the kind of questions every Christian needs to be asking. Listen in to this message from Galatians 4:12-20.

Studying this letter must raise an awareness of what it means to come to liberating faith in Christ and at the same time warn Christians about the dreadful possibility of turning back to a life of slavery.

Paul explains that everyone who has faith in Jesus Christ alone gets the inheritance God first promised to Abraham. And to prove it, he sets out what is really a short course in biblical history. Listen in.
