The first Easter Sunday began with frightened women and perplexed men peering into an empty grave looking for their friend who had been killed a few days earlier.
They were looking in the wrong place.
They would find him and their worlds would be turned upside down.
It’s just that he was never going to be found in a graveyard. He had risen.
Life would never be the same again.
Everyone wants to be ‘spiritual’ but no one wants to be ‘religious’.
What do we mean by ‘spirituality’ and what does it mean to be filled with the Spirit of God in everyday life?
What did Jesus mean when he identified a piece of bread with his flesh?
What does it mean to feed on Jesus?
What is happening in communion?
And is it any surprise that people were confused by Jesus at times?
What is your deepest hunger?
What are the things that feel insatiable?
For some it’s intimacy, for others security, for others it might be approval.
John points us to Jesus who feeds our deepest hungers.

In a world where it feels everyone is ready to argue, it’s easy to be defensive about our own assumptions.
But if we are going to see the world differently, we need to allow our assumptions about life to be challenged.
It’s what Jesus did to people in his time. It’s what he still does.
You can see that some people have been broken by life.
Others just hide it well.
How honest can we be?
Jesus steps into our brokenness and stops us being defined by it.
As we go into the second month of the year, things are settling down, so there’s not quite so much to let you know about this month.
But we hope what we do have helps…
Life is complicated.
We can either try to work out our own pathway, or we can accept the invitation of the One who knows where he is going and wants us to walk alongside him.
