Luke, the writer of the Bible book named after him, now sets out to show us that Jesus Christ can't be constrained to a neat pigeonhole of our own making ... and, in so doing, delivers us from religion! Yes, really! Maybe you thought these videos are about a religious church - we're sorry if it sometimes seems like this. Because this week's message is that we must follow Jesus as he is, not as any church tries to shape him.

After our week-of-prayer it's back to Luke - and to hear about Christ's encounter with some fishermen, a man with leprosy and and a paralyzed man. And Jesus commands them all to change, and they do! What can this mean for us. Watch and listen and find out!

Today we're taking a one-week break from our Luke series, because it's the beginning of the week of prayer. So we're taking as our starting point the model that the Apostle Paul. provides at the beginning of his letter to the Christians in Colossae - lots of thanks to God for how he'd changed the believers for the better; lots of prayer that God would continue changing the believers, and lots of praise-filled worship for what God had done for the believers. Lots to model in our prayers!

Jesus Christ is often said to have been a great teacher. Well, today we take a look at (or should that be 'a listen to') Jesus' first sermon as recorded by Luke. In some ways it's Jesus' manifesto of who he is and what he does. And in giving this sermon, Jesus stirs up some anger from those who don't want to listen to his remarkable message. But, as is still true today, while Jesus' words anger some, he's greatly appreciated by others.

In today's look into Luke's record of what Christ did and what it tells us about who he is. There are very high points in today's account. And the depths are plumbed too. But through highs and lows Luke's message is plain: Jesus is none other than the Son of the God of the universe come to be a human just like you and me. Amazing!

Some years ago, one of the Royal Family visited Nottingham and did a walkabout. Crowds of people came to see her and hoped to shake her hand or to exchange a few words with her. Imagine if her reply had been 'Don't look at me, look at the person who's coming next, they're a 1000 times more important than me'! That's the sort of thing that's recorded in this second episode of our Luke series when John points to Jesus. Now, why did he do that?

Today we start a new series of sermons taken from the Bible book called Luke. He's the person who put pen to paper in order to record what he called an 'orderly account' of the life of Jesus Christ on earth. We'll see that he takes us through a series of events that show us more and more about the character and nature of Jesus Christ. At the start he's keen to point out that Jesus is the Son of God the Father.

Today we meet two people who went on a journey with Jesus ... but didn't realize who their travelling companion was! How is it possible to be in the dark about someone who is so close to us and so good? Maybe, in many respects, we're no different! Listen in and find out what the result was for the two people we meet in the Bible and figure out what the result ought to be for us.

So. Here we are! At the greatest day in the Church calendar when we celebrate Christ's resurrection! Because he has died, and now lives, we too can live forever with him eternally - finally free of everything that's evil. Amazing!

One week before the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. One week before what we call Easter. At the moment, everything's looking rosy - it's Palm Sunday and most people are giving Jesus the red carpet treatment (well, a green carpet of palm leaves!). But it will only be a few days before Jesus will be arrested on a trumped-up charge, found guilty, purely out of convenience to his accusers, tortured, crucified and buried. Are you a 'palm leaf wielder' or someone who'll wield a hammer to nail him to the cross?
