A Better Story: Jesus Is Bigger Than You Imagine
Jesus is the centre of the universe, and only in him does everything hold together. He should be the centre of our lives too.

We all want peace: world peace and personal peace. But do we know what will bring us the peace we all seek?
In his final week on earth, Jesus entered a city that was in turmoil, but they didn’t recognise him as the one who offered the only thing we all really need – peace with God.
A look back at the previous month, and a look forward to what’s coming up.
What has happened to all those who have died waiting for Jesus to return? What will eternal life be like? How does this hope help us live well now? On Sunday, we explored the possible answers behind these questions.
Many of us live with prayers that have not yet been answered. What is the place of suffering and the ‘unhealed’ in the life of faith when we want to live honestly but also hopefully?
The early church believed that God would heal their own sick members through the ministry of people with the gift of healing but also through the regular ministry of the church. How could we/should/do we copy these patterns?
The story finishes in a similar way to how it started. Jesus comes to people who have messed up, who know they aren’t capable, who aren’t to be trusted and he restores purpose and personhood to them.
He did it then, and he still does.
Have you been ‘cancelled’ or ‘unfollowed’ yet? All you will need to do is express an opinion that someone doesn’t agree with and the pile-on will follow as sure as night follows day. Our unity can be so fragile. Some of us know that Christians can be as bad at this as anyone else.It’s why Jesus prayed for us. It’s the longest prayer we know that Jesus prayed. It might be the most important prayer you will get to listen in on.
Sometimes our pain is caused by the reactions of others.
We can be overcome by their disapproval and condemnation of us and the way we live.

Watch how Jesus deals with the sense of guilt and the condemnation of others.
Anxiety preys on all of us.
It makes us fear we won’t have enough, or that we will be overwhelmed.
Jesus knows this and is able to transform these fears of not having enough to living abundantly.
