Provoke one another in faith? How does this not just become nagging and bullying?

Yesterday’s faith isn’t good enough. So how do we hold on to a hope for today when we’re going through hard times?

Jesus' encounter with a notorious tax collector was a shocking incident full of controversy and surprises. Perfect material for the start of our year. 

If the signs of Jesus coming into the world were clearly foretold by ancient prophets, why didn't more people recognise him? Have we got Biblical prophecy all wrong?

People want someone to look to, a ruler to bring order and peace to their world. Problem is, every human king lets us down. Time for God Himself to step in.

The coming of Jesus wasn't an emergency response to a world gone bad. It was planned and promised from the very beginning.

Why being poor, broken and down can be the best place to be when Jesus is in charge.

We live non-stop lives in a non-stop world. But what would it look like if Jesus followers rediscovered the spiritual practice of total rest?

We tend to think of giving as an off the cuff response to an emotional ask. But what if it’s a practice that shapes our discipleship?

Scripture tells us to pray with all kinds of prayer, but most of us don’t know there’s more than one. So what does it mean to intercede for others?

For hundreds of years fasting was a weekly practice of every Christian. So why did we drop it and is there more to it than just going hungry?

You can go faster alone, but if you want to go further we need to go together. We need to go the Way of Love. 

The Way of Jesus is a direct challenge to the direction most people take. It’s a way of self-denial that embraces weakness and rejection. It’s the way of the cross. 

The easiest way to see where a person is headed is to see where they’ve come from. Maybe it’s time to change direction. 

The first believers impacted their world not through words, debate or political pressure. They did it by being the most awesome community the world had ever seen. 

Here's a paradox. The first disciples impacted the world around them not by looking outward, but by looking inward. How on earth does this work?

The first believers began their mission with an extraordinary vision. So what was it and what can we learn from it?

How do our thoughts and feelings determine our actions? And what's the key to breaking the shame cycle?

What can we learn from God from a cry of pain?

What does it mean to be saved by God? Laura gives insight into her favourite Psalm. 

How can you be sure that God will come through for you when times are tough?

What difference does it make in our life and our witness to the world when we truly pursue the presence of Jesus? And how exactly do we do that?

Jesus called the rich to sell their possessions and give to the poor. Are we really supposed to answer this call, or was Jesus bluffing?

Jesus called his disciples to take up a cross and die to themselves. It’s a metaphor, right? Surely he wasn’t serious.

Jesus called his disciples to proclaim his Kingdom, with actions as well as words. But he never said we have to do it in our own strength.
