The Bible makes clear that God has a breathtaking vision – to bring all things together in heaven and on earth under the lordship of Jesus Christ. As we begin a new series, looking at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, the first chapter gives some hints on themes that will be covered later in the letter.

The Christian church belongs to Jesus - he bought it with his own blood. That truth has implications for us all in the way we live our lives.

The Resurrection remains the pivotal moment in human history. But what did it accomplish, and how?

Palm Sunday sees Jesus travelling to Jerusalem with a prophetic purpose - that God would redeem his people. His entry into the city connects with the church's mission today.

An overview of John's gospel, chapters 14 to 16, as Jesus, about to go to the cross, spends time with his disciples.

We revisit Mary’s role as the mother of Jesus, then focus on two passages in John’s gospel showing how she both shared his joy and watched him die on the cross.

Many of the things Jesus did during his lifetime were surprising. Even washing his disciples' feet (see John chapter 13) would have raised eyebrows. But a closer look at the story reveals several things that we can learn and apply to our own lives.

King David, described as a man after God's own heart, was not allowed to build the temple - that responsibility fell to his son Solomon. The story offers several lessons to us, including the need for leaders to have wisdom and support, and for us all to keep alert to temptations.

With echoes of contemporary events, the well-known story of King David, Bathsheba and Nathan the Prophet shows how we can be caught up in systems of sin, as well as being held accountable to God for individual wrongdoing.

How do followers of Jesus discern the current times, and not get overwhelmed by all that is going on? Jesus' teaching provides some of the answers - but we still have a responsibility to respond.
