Have you ever tried to become a new person, but feel stuck in the same old patterns, making the same mistakes? While these thoughts can make us want to give up, the story in Luke 4 is a beacon of hope. Through his temptation in the desert, we see that Jesus is certainly able and certainly willing to save.

Christian doubt can feel difficult and destabilising. When faith feels unsteady, it is no small matter. But the opening words of Luke's gospel provide a life raft to those who are in the waves of doubt. His message is clear: you can trust Jesus.

Even when we acknowledge death, we don't like to really look at it. But death is at the end of everything, and it is something we should take to heart. Through the deaths of Abraham and Sarah, Andrew challenges us to think about what it means to live and die well, and think about ending in faith.

As humans, we often try to ignore our constraints, and forget that we have limitations. In this passage, we are invited to learn from the lives and mistakes and Abraham and Sarah. Through the surprising story of Abraham and Abimelek, James explores the danger of forgetting our limits and forgetting God.
