The dual purpose of humanity is to pursue God’s glory and our joy. Those two pursuits are not in conflict with one another but they work together to the same end. And prayer is the best embodiment of those pursuits.

Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches. God wants us to know our position in Christ, our purpose to bear fruit for his glory and how that is best worked out by knowing our place as part of the church.

Jesus tells his disciples to not let their hearts be troubled, but this isn’t an empty encouragement. In John 14, He gives a host of good reasons why we shouldn't let our hearts be troubled.

This Sunday Guy Miller from Commission spoke on building a Church of observable glory.

There is a change of atmosphere in John 13 as the book of John turns towards the cross with the Last Supper. It is here that Jesus’ love is betrayed and displayed. What can we learn from these two acts for our own lives?

Mary shows her devotion to Jesus by anointing him with a very expensive perfume. If Jesus is worthy of such honour, what does devotion to Jesus look like for each of us?

The main way Jesus shows his love for us is by showing us and giving us himself. As a family grieves, Jesus shows himself to them by responding with truth, emotion and power.

If Jesus rose again from the dead, it changes everything. It changes all of life and history from being tragic and meaningless into hope-filled joy.

What is your view on the resurrection? There are many theories about it, but could it be true?

The Good Shepherd has come to give life for eternity and life to the full. The way he offers that to us is by giving his life.
