After a very difficult year almost everyone’s looking forward to Christmas and hoping to celebrate it in a way that is at least close to normal. But even if it is, we will still face all sorts of problems and difficulties going into next year – maybe we need something more?

There's a great need to serve another at the moment, both inside the church and in the wider community. What can we learn from Jesus, the ultimate servant?

Sometimes the instructions in the Bible seem a little strange because they were written a long time ago in a very different culture. This command is certainly like that, so we need think carefully to find out what it’s really saying to us today.

Compared to many of the ‘One Another’ commands this idea can feel daunting to many and impossible to others: How could I possibly be able to teach others when I’m find things challenging myself? Shouldn’t we just leave it to the experts?

There are times in life when we all need support and for some it is a constant need. Who should be providing this support and how can we be a church we does this better and better.

Encouraging each other seems a good and obvious thing to do, but what does it actually mean to encourage one another and build each other up to do love and good deeds for the sake of God's Kingdom?

The last 6 months of life in the UK have been totally different to anything we’ve experienced before, and we are far from ‘back to normal’.  How should we approach the next 6 months and how can we stay spiritually and psychologically healthy?

Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Christian faith, so it’s surprising that Christians often have problems forgiving others. Are we expecting too much of each other, or have we just forgotten what being following Jesus is really all about?  

 

We all know that none of us are perfect, yet it can be so difficult to accept those who are different from us and who might frustrate, inconvenience or upset us. How can our church community be a more accepting place and a demonstration of God’s acceptance?

No one would seriously disagree with Jesus telling us to love one another.  And yet it can be so hard to actually live it out day to day. Do we just need to try harder, or is there a better way?
