We Need A New Hope
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.

One of the questions that crops up at regular intervals throughout life is one of the most basic ones: ‘Can we change? Can the direction of my life change?’
Jesus offers hope that things are not fixed, that change is possible to all who are open.
It begins with the heart.
Too many of us wonder whether we are good enough, or fear what others might think about us.
The power of shame can be crippling.
Jesus rescues us from that power so that we can live joy-filled lives.
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.
John’s gospel, written for people who may never have met Jesus, or perhaps even been born when Jesus was on earth, needed to be rooted in understanding who Jesus was and what his actions meant for them in their time.
We are in the same place as them.
Jesus is the one who is the ground of all our hope.
Because he was born, we can sing.
Watch our joint Candlelit Carol Service, an evening of carols and candlelight, as we retell the brilliant Christmas story.
The Darkness has never overcome the light.
What difference can that make in our lives?
How did the ‘hopes and fears of all the years’ meet in Jesus?
What happens when we die?
What are our hopes for those who have already died?
What is our ultimate hope?
