Psalm 23 tells us that the Lord provides all our needs, he guides us in all our ways, and He blesses us all our days.

The words of Psalm 23 have given strength to suffering Christians for centuries. It is a Psalm about the Good Shepherd, our Lord Himself, Who is Shepherd over us.

We are on this earth to bring praise and glory to God. After all, we were made in the image of God. Psalm 8 gives us an insight into this mystery.

What is your reason for living on earth? There is little happiness or satisfaction in a life lived for selfish pleasure. But when you believe that we are here to honour, praise and worship God, this is what makes life worth living.

Jesus describes Himself as a Vine, and the believers as branches. Christians who are connected to Christ will grow and bear much fruit.

"I am the Vine" was another metaphor that Jesus used to describe Himself, as recorded in the Gospel of John. We will delve into this and discover what He meant. If we are connected to Him by our faith, then wew too can bear good fruit.

Jesus tells his disciples that he is the Way, and the Truth and the Life. This week we look at the second two - Truth and Life - of these reassurances. In modern understanding, absolute truth no longer exists. People want multiple choice questions where there are many "correct" answers.

Jesus tells his disciples that he is the Way, and the Truth and the Life. This week we look at the first part of this assurance. Many people believe that there are many ways to God, but Jesus tells us that He is the only way.

Death will always be the last enemy. It usually involves pain and sorrow, sometime for those who are dying, sometimes for those who are left behind. But Jesus brings us a comforting message.

The Bible predicted that Jesus would die, be raised and then ascend into heaven. We would look in vain for his grave here on earth, not in Jerusalem, and not in Nazareth. If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our faith is futile.
