How do we deal with living when things don't go as we wish? No doubt in many ways. However the best starting point is remembering that God is already with us in the moment and not far away 'waiting to be called'.

What are the issues today about faith and doubt? What should the Church be saying and doing?

Answers to that question might be found in philosophy, physics, and neuroscience. A cross and an empty tomb also shines light on the question.

God goes to great lengths to reveal Himself through the Word made flesh. Jesus points us to the Father – and together they send the Holy Spirit. Thus God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – don't share this personal information for ego but because without this revelation we are truly lost.

We all have thoughts each day about life and living. The Good News of Jesus is the best news to help shape our thoughts.

There is a lot to learn – and to learn a greater appreciation of God and his means of grace. We are never alone.

Baptism – being joined to Jesus' death and resurrection and in a new birth and new life – is critical for everyone because our journey is either being drawn to Jesus in Baptism or returning daily to Jesus and Baptism. That's what living by faith involves and stops Christianity being only history a long time ago.

Knowledge is usually not enough to bring about change. What is needed is a reason or motivation. So when it comes to relating to God and to our behaviour that flows from faith, then what we need, above all, is the Gospel.

The Good News of Jesus is not just that he speaks to us but also that he moves. Everything to do with him is about him coming to us.

It would seem that I've got the words 'death' and 'life' back to front! But no, I haven't. This is what Jesus is all about!
