The opening of Luke's Gospel records the reaction of two people to incredible news. Their reactions couldn't be more different: the one whose news is more positive doubts, yet the one whose news is more threatening rejoices. What are the secrets to Zechariah's (the father of John the Baptist) and Mary's (the mother of Jesus) reactions? How can we accept God's work in our life more like Mary than Zechariah?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." So begins John's account of Jesus ministry.

But what does it mean? Who is the Word? How does this have anything to do with us? And, does this secretly have something to do with Christmas?

Join us as Sasha unpacks this deeply significant first section of the Gospel according to John.

Today, many people have lost hope in the future. Everything seems too difficult. In the time of Hezekiah Judah was in a terrible situation, under seige by a mighty empire. But in that time, the prophet Isaiah offered a message of incredible hope. What was that message, and what could it have to offer us?

The apostle John exhorts the churches to love the Father and not the world. We, too, need to focus on our priorities as we find ourselves in such a demanding, enticing world. How can we prioritise, and how will it affect us?

After the terrible fall of Jerusalem at the hands of the Bablyonians, how did the people of God react? What can we learn from how Jeremiah and his people processed their grief?

Daniel was snatched into exile in Babylon, but he responded by finding a way to continue in God's service, and that made all the difference, not just to him, but to his captors. We, too are in exile. How can we learn from Daniel in our exile to make a difference in our world?

We often talk about the church as if it is primarily a building, and yet church buildings are not even mentioned in the Bible. Rather, church is the people who gather together. What does this mean for how we do church?

Parables are an integral part of our picture of Jesus' teaching. But what are they? Why did he use them? Do they still apply? Are they useful for us? We grapple with these questions and more.

After Israel split away to follow other gods, their true God didn't give up on them. He sent prophet after prophet to warn them and beg them to return to him. Is God still like that with us? How would that change our lives?

“The Lord is my Shepherd” Familiar words. But why does God even want to shepherd us? Why slave over us? What does it mean for him to “lead me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake?” Stephen unpacks this most familiar of Psalms in a way that makes it even more precious.
