Where is God when life is complicated? How should we respond in the richness and pain of everyday normality? In this conclusion to the series we see the answer!

God uses suffering and hard times to deepen our relationship with him. Is there any hope for wicked and hope-less people? Genesis 42-45

How can we make sense of life when everything falls apart? We see Joseh at his lowest point, but we also see a key principle about God’s goodness and care. [Genesis 40-41]

How can we live when God feels absent? God is at work, keeping His promises. Even when we don’t realise it. Even when we think He’s not. Even in our struggles with sexual desire. [Genesis 39]

Where is God in our life? Sometimes our lives here can feel flat and unspectacular - so what's our place in God's Big Story? [Genesis 37]

What will we do with the Bible? We’re in the middle of a war, a war of Words. Whose will we trust? [Psalm 1]

The Bible is a whole book. This means that it is a story, with a beginning, middle and end. Together, God’s Story will change and shape our lives.

Can we trust the Bible? Every religious book has authority for that religion- but the Bible is unique, the Bible is better. [2 Timothy 3:16]

God’s Word is powerful... but is it relevant? What about when our life is drowning in doubt and fear?

Going home for Christmas is a dream for some, and a nightmare for others. What does Jesus' birth tell us about 'home?'

What does it mean for Jesus to be called a Nazarene? It reflects everything that he came to do. It is such great news!

This is a Christmas passage we tend to skip over! It certainly leaves us uneasy, and feeling the pain of the families. But in it we see the ugliness and pain of sin, and God's goodness, even at Christmas.

We see God's gracious plan revealed - this child was born in the humble peasant home and he came to be with people like us, whatever our background or race.

Life for us is messy and full of questions, and it was no different for those involved in the Christmas story. And yet in the midst of the chaos is the Child.

The birth of Jesus is at the core of the Christian faith- and it is always relevant. The genealogy tells us all we need to know...

A key word for Luther and the Reformation, and for us, is “Peace.” Romans 5

In many ways the story of the Bible is the story of God calling and setting apart a Kingdom of Priests. That story hasn’t ended- it is our privilege even today. Exodus 19:4-6, Hebrews

Because of the truth of the gospel we can serve God joyfully, with our whole heart. Titus 3:1-8

The Bible is precious. We don’t always treat it as such, but the Word of God is a treasure. In it we see and hear God’s Voice. Exodus 33-34, John 1

Luther wrestled with fear- what God thought of him was terrifying! This forced him to investigate where real hope could come from. And he found a great answer! [Romans 1:16-17]

It's really important that we live as contagious Christians. But there's more! Jesus wants to draw people to himself - and we can join in!

When we enjoy Jesus and are connected with people, what then? We need to communicate the gospel. Here is something simple and effective to remember and share. Such good news!

Being contagious and sharing your faith means you need to be close to the people you want to share with. Jesus came into the world as a human, so we shouldn't withdraw, but look for opportunities to connect.

Our lives have been transformed by Jesus- and we want to share Him. What's the first step? Having something (Someone!) to share! [Psalm 63]

Where we invest our life and attention will lead us somewhere- we need to ask ourselves if it's somewhere we really want to go. [Proverbs 27:12 / 4:23-27]
