Paula reflects on what it may mean to get to the end of your life and worry that you may have missed it?

Jesus says he is the "Good Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep", but a good shepherd does not sacrifice himself, for otherwise the whole flock would be left alone to be attacked or lost.  So why is Jesus prepared to lay down his life?

Once again Jesus says something unexpected - God can be known as he knows us.  How does it change us that God knows us and what can we know of God

Julio takes a verse from Jude "Keep yourselves in the love of God" and unpacks for us how we do that.

Sam returns to his series in James. If we are relying on wealth, when the scorching heat of difficultly arrives, we can be let down. But how do we know if we have become dependent on stuff? Sam explores and Donald puts some questions to him about his own experience

Jody uses Dandelions to encourage us in our relationship with God and others.

David says "The Lord is My Shepherd" Jesus says he is the "Good" shepherd, why does Jesus insert the word "Good" to describe himself? Donald takes us to one of the most pivotal passages in his journey of faith to see how Jesus is consciously pointing us to a prophecy from Ezekiel to enhance our understanding of His purpose and mission.

Christine reflects on a picture she has had and prays for us.

We all get anxious, and it appears Jesus did, and yet the apostle Paul tells us not to get anxious. How can we address anxiety and receive the peace God has for us? Paul Wilson continues his occasional series in the book of Philippians and helps us receive the teaching of these verses, and then Donald puts some questions to him.

Ian tells a true story from around the world about the word love and how it shows how much God loves us.

In familiar words, Jesus says he is the good Shepherd but if we dig a little deeper what does this mean for us? Once again, Donald takes us further into a concept we think we know well to discover some new truths about God being with us

Donald begins a new series in the Church on the book of Ezra. It is a book of the Old Testament that has a lot of parallels with our times. After a long season of difficulty, separation and bewilderment, bit by bit God brings people back to the place where they can re-build. What words of hope are there? How does God change our hearts? Donald preaches and then Cath comes to ask some questions of D...

Cath rounds off her series on sharing our faith by encouraging us with stories from those in the life of our church of how they came to faith.

Jesus came to bring overflowing life - but what does it look like?

Deb reflects on some of the good from lockdown and what we might take up going forwards as society opens back up...

Jesus tells us we are the light of the world. Cath talks about how we can shine and get involved in our local communities.

There are lots of voices in our lives, lots of messages that can imprint themselves on us.  Jesus says those who know the Shepherd will not listen to voices that rob us of life.  Donald helps us think through what might be the messages we need to stop taking note of.

In the final live online Questions of Life, Cath and Donald discuss top tips for moving on with God for those still exploring right through to those who have followed Jesus for years.

Phil tells us about a couple of interesting people he has known and reflects on how we often misjudge people, and fail to see them as God does.

We all make mistakes, but we're not always keen to admit it... Deb looks at why our mistakes can be transformational.

If someone asked you about your faith, would you be able to talk about it? Cath shares her own mistakes and things to think about when sharing our faith.

Paul talks about finding time to be with Jesus and how we can be transformed through those times.

Jesus tells us that it is possible to recognise the voice of the Shepherd. How can we tell what is God's voice and what is our own self, or perhaps temptation or even illness speaking? Donald gives us 10 practical ways of seeking to discern what might or might not be God speaking

Cath and Donald practically discuss the different types of peace and how we can find peace in difficult times
