Jeremy looks at the unexpected increased interest in faith among young people, and how we are called to lean in and be a part of what God is doing.

Charmaine explores the story of "doubting" Thomas, and how doubt is a crucial part of faith development and coming to own our faith.

Because God raised Jesus from the dead, the self-giving love he embodied is vindicated as the deepest truth of reality. Therefore, we are freed to step out of fear and into courageous participation in new creation.

On Palm Sunday, Charmaine drew together the season of Lent exploring Lament showing that Jesus himself lamented deeply, from Gethsemane to the cross. The Easter hope that frames these laments is that God hears, acts, and saves, and that every sorrow brought to him can be planted like a seed in expectation of resurrection life.

Jeremy briefly examines the final poem of Lamentations, which now becomes prayer, and we bring all our community's laments to God in prayer.

Josh looks at our lament through the frame of our eternal hope, and Bryan Parry shares a powerful testimony of loss, grief and hope in the eternal perspective.

A meditation on Lamentations 3 exploring how, amid personal and global despair, the practice of "befriending faithfulness" by speaking truth to our hearts, feeding on God's goodness, and turning lament into confession, is both possible and necessary.

Josh sensitively explores the theological questions that suffering can raise. Lamentations 2 gives us permission to voice these questions, but we also must keep before us the image of God that is revealed in Jesus Christ at the centre, reminding us that God is not punishing us.

Jeremy began our exploration of the Book of Lamentations for our Lenten series looking at chapter one, and how it invites us to express our lament, pain and bewilderment (how!?) to God in prayer as an integral part of shalom and wholeness.
