The events of the first Easter were pretty extraordinary, as well the implications of them for life today. But if we weren’t there and able to see what happened, how can we know it’s true and believe it? 

Most of us know the experience of being worn down and worn out by something outside of our control. What difference can our faith in God make when we feel like we can't carry on?

How do you react when other people seem to get all the breaks and you end up drawing the short straw? How can we handle it when it feels like God himself is not treating us fairly?

Most of us want to know that we matter to someone, that we are valued for who we are not for what we do.  But how do we cope when people treat us as if we don’t matter? Or even worse, when God seems not to care?

Sometimes the Bible seems to describe really shocking events as if nothing is wrong: The heroes of faith behave in appalling ways, and God doesn’t seem to mind.  What’s going on and how does it affect how we think about the Bible itself?

They say that a problem shared is a problem halved, but there’s someone we can talk to who gives us more than just a listening ear. Today we look at how David in the Bible received God’s grace under pressure when he talked things over with God.

How does Jesus respond to his darkest hour and why is he experiencing such agony? We discover that his suffering is the foundation of this whole series as two very different cups are exchanged.

Even if we’re Christians, we can find it hard when we face tragedies and difficulties in life. How should we respond and how can we get better at recognising the kindness and grace of God to us?

Today we welcome Jono Hayward from Crowborough Community Church (another church in our Catalyst network).

When we face trouble, pain and challenges in life it's easy to lose heart and perspective. What does God say that can bring us hope and fresh clarity for our lives?

There aren't enough hours in the day. There aren't enough hours at night either! Exhaustion affects us all. So how do we avoid being overwhelmed? How do we avoid the kind of despair that plagued Elijah?
