The meaning of Christmas

The church is more glorious than it appears

Jacob and Joseph do not want their bones to remain in Egypt

An event in five scenes that changes everything.

Why is prayer important?

Post resurrection, Jesus appears to the disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. A miraculous catch of fish reminds them that they should be fishing for men and women.

There are are deep longings in our hearts. We try to fulfil them in many different ways. We all want to be happy, successful, intimate with others, healthy, safe and whole as people, attractive and popular, satisfied and content, in a place that is home to us. How have Christian thinkers like C.S. Lewis (writer of the Narnia stories) understood these longings? Can these needs be met? And how can they be met?

The resurrection of Jesus is a powerful argument for Christian faith, both to encourage Christians and to challenge atheists. (With particular reference to N. T. Wright’s book with the same title.)
