The second line of the Lord’s Prayer is one of the most mysterious: what does the word “hallowed” even mean, and what does it have to do with God’s name? In this session we see that we are actually asking God for something understandable and practical, and we see what difference that should make to our lives.

Prayer seems to be a basic instinct for us as human beings – and yet, many Christians struggle with it. Why is prayer such a struggle? In the first session on the Lord’s Prayer, we think about why we find prayer such a struggle and how what Jesus taught us about prayer addresses that. We also think about whether we should pray the Lord’s Prayer as a ‘set’ prayer — using the same words in the same order.

Many people, even those who are not religious, believe in some kind of afterlife. But people don’t really know what to expect. What will eternal life be like? Many Christians are confused about this! But we don’t need to be, because the Bible does teach us what to expect of eternal life. What will it be like — and how do we prepare for it today?

People sometimes say “you can be a Christian without going to church” — but that’s missing the entire point. The church is what being a Christian is all about! In this week’s session on the Apostle’s Creed, we learn what the “communion of saints” is and think about the holy “catholic” church.

There has been much division over the role of the Holy Spirit in the church over the last hundred years. However, much of this stems from a misunderstanding of who the Spirit is and what he comes to do. In this session we look at the identity of the Holy Spirit, before thinking about what he comes to do in our lives. The Spirit is the one who makes everything real to us.

If you asked Christians to name the key elements of Jesus’ life, most would include his birth, death and resurrection — but how many would include his ascension and second coming? In this session, we look at why Jesus needed to ascend to heaven. We also look at what Jesus is doing right now, and how Jesus will return as our judge.

The Resurrection is one of the most important aspects of the Christian faith — and yet many Christians don’t understand it fully. Why was it so important for Jesus to rise again? And what difference does it make to our lives now – is it only for the future? In this session we explore the significance of Jesus’ resurrection.

C.S. Lewis said the miracle of the Virgin Birth was “the hardest of all for the modern mind to accept”. Perhaps this is the case because people don’t understand why the virgin birth was important. In this video we explore why the virgin birth was necessary, and how it’s beneficial to us that Jesus shares in our humanity.

Everyone knows Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus? Why is he important? What does it mean for Jesus to be Son of God? And how should we relate to him as Lord?

To know God as our Creator is one of the most fundamental things which we need to understand. People think that this is basic stuff for children – but that is far from the truth: these truths are deep, and we as adults need to grapple with them. What does it mean for God to be our Creator? In this session we look at how this means we are not the creator; how God knows best for us; and what the creation shows us about God.
