What does Father's Day mean to you? Maybe it's a lot, a little or something quite negative. We think about a story Jesus told which shows us that God wants to be, and can be, a Fantastic Father to us.

Many people say that religion in general, and Christianity in particular, is psychologically damaging: it piles on guilt by telling us to try and be something we are not. At first sight this passage in Romans appears to confirm that view. But we need to look a bit closer to avoid misreading it entirely.

Do you know God? We trace what the presence of God meant in the Old Testament, the New Testament and then for us today as God's way of coming has got bigger and bigger. We see how you can know God in your everyday life and what it really means to have His presence with us.

If we are freely accepted by God because of his grace what do we need to do about God's Law from the Old Testament? Do we need to keep it or can we just ignore it or what? And what about when Christians still break the Law?

Do you have a problem with Sin? Do you ever find it hard to do the right thing? There's something inside of us that seems to find it so hard to make the right choices and live the right way. What is it and how can we finally win our inner battles?

Last week we heard about the joyful confidence we can have in God through Jesus. But what about the powerful forces of death and sin which still affect us all? Where do they come from and will they eventually take us down? Or has God got them covered?

Any serious attempt to live for God must involve our finances. We cannot claim a connection with God and at the same time refuse him to influence what we do with our money.
