“On the third day he rose again” – seven words which changed the world. But what does it mean, and how is it significant for us? In this video we look at the world-changing significance of the resurrection.

If it’s amazing that Jesus came as a man, it’s doubly so that he came and died. But why did he die? And what does it mean that we should do in response?
One of the best books about the cross is John Stott “The Cross of Christ”. It actually appeared in my video 10 books to renew your mind – you can check out what I said about it there.

If Jesus was God, how come he was also a man? How do those things fit together? And why is it important anyway?
Bruce Ware wrote a book called “The Man Christ Jesus”, subtitle “Theological reflections on the humanity of Christ”, which I found very helpful at the time.

Christianity is all about Christ – that’s why it’s so important to understand who he is. In this video we look at the next line of the apostle’s creed, “I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord”. What does that say about who Jesus is and what it means for us?

The last session finished on a bit of a cliffhanger: God had made big promises to Abraham, but how could he keep them? The Old Testament demonstrated that sin was too strong to overcome on our own. But God had a plan to save the world.

I’ve just published the next part of the Learn to read the Bible series on Mark’s Gospel. This week we are looking at Mark 5:21-43, where Jesus heals a sick woman and raises a dead girl.
For those who are coming to this new, the idea behind this series is not for me to simply explain everything to you, but rather to give you things to think about yourself. This is about training you to read the Bible for yourself, rather than just giving you all the answers!
See this page if you’d like a few pointers for how to use these videos. Don’t forget to pray!
You can read the passage online here (although I’d suggest it’s better in a physical Bible). You may also want to have a pen and paper handy to jot down notes and things you want to look into more.

Take a few moments to re-read the passage, think, and pray.
You can see the rest of the videos in this series on the this page. If you’d like a more focussed series teaching the Christian faith, check out the teaching programme.

Yesterday in our church we began a new sermon series for Advent. I was preaching, the passage was Hebrews 1:1-4. The idea behind this series is to try to understand that Jesus is more than a ‘baby in a manger’: people often like to see the manger at Christmas time, but then leave Jesus there.
In this sermon we think about three reasons we shouldn’t leave Jesus in the manger!
