The message of Christmas really is good news of great joy - this year we do not need to be afraid because God is with us.

At Christmas it's easy to miss the significance of the baby in the manger. This year, why not meet Jesus personally?

We have a God who is incredibly relational. He invites us to be adopted into His family - the closest, warmest and most secure relationship in existence.

Life is so often frustrating, full of searching for 'more,' full of empty unsatisfaction! What can we do to satisfy our longings for real lasting relationships?

Jesus is a Bridegroom. He offers Himself in amazing love - will we be transformed by Him?

John's Gospel talks a lot about 'belief.' We tend to see faith as on/off, but Jesus shows us that believing in Him is so much deeper.

Jesus offers true life- to the full. What does that life with Jesus like? At the launch of His ministry Jesus shows us His glory- his kindness and love, at a wedding!

Whatever our biggest fear is, Jesus is in control. He has the power and desire to save us.

(This is the final part of a talk at a family service)

We need to be transformed and Jesus is the One who promises to do it. What happens when people start to meet Jesus?

Life is a mess - we fall short of even our own standards! The task of life-change is huge - but that is precisely what Jesus offers to us. Look up to who God really is.
