Sometimes, with the best of intentions, Christians hardly know what to pray. We can be unsure of our words, tired from service, burdened by a trial. Without ever having met the Colossians, however, Paul knew what to pray for them. We can use his prayer to pray for ourselves and one another.

It seems the more we know of our world, the less we understand it. We can quickly get information, but do we really know the world - or ourselves! - any better?

Here we consider the comforting, convicting truth that our God, truly, knows all things.

The apostle Paul had never been to the city of Colossae or met any of the believers there - but they already had the most important thing in common: the gospel of Jesus Christ!

As we resume our series thinking about who God is we consider a vital Christian truth: God is one in Being, Three in Person. The doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction, but it is a mystery. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful, vital truth for every believer to know.

Psalm 36 highlights a stark contrast between the wickedness of mankind and the steadfast love of the Lord. Lest we become overwhelmed by the former, we must rejoice in the latter!

The only constant in our world today seems to be change! From technology to international relations between nations to our own personal lives, everything seems to be busy blur of changes.

What a comfort it is, then, to learn about a God who does not and will not change!

Psalm 35 probably doesn't rank highly on our list of favourite psalms. There are even some lines in it that might cause us to question whether we should sing them! But rightly understood, this is a psalm praying for God to justly and fairly deliver his Chosen King from wicked enemies. It is, in fact, good news for the Christian that our God fights for us!

What humans need, more than anything, is to know the God who made us. In this series we begin by considering the fact that God is utterly separate and unique from anyone and anything else; in other words, he is holy.

The Mission of the Church is a relatively simple one, as Paul outlines in Romans 10:11-17. Here we consider:

1. The Simple Nature of the Mission

2. The Strategy for the Mission

3. The Scope of the Mission

Our long journey through Genesis comes to a close with the death of Joseph. But here, in this sad reminder of the impact of sin on the world, we have a great demonstration of faith, a reminder that God's good purposes will prevail.
