Have you ever tried to become a new person, but feel stuck in the same old patterns, making the same mistakes? While these thoughts can make us want to give up, then story in Luke 4 is a beacon of hope. Through his temptation in the desert, we see that Jesus is certainly able and certainly willing to save.

Christian doubt can feel difficult and destabilising. When faith feels unsteady, it is no small matter. But the opening words of Luke's gospel provide a life raft to those who are in the waves of doubt. His message is clear: you can trust Jesus.

There is a deep desire in all of us to be known, appreciated, and understood. Although hardly talked about, this desire often drives much of our behaviour and our relationships. Genesis 16 chronicles a relational disaster, and the difference that God can make to the challenges of relationships and life.

Christianity is not an upward trajectory towards complete assurance - a journey of faith often comes with many bumpy moments and uncertainty. James looks at the story of Abraham and how it can help us in moments of fear and uncertainty.

"If I could just get the right job, have the best grades, live in the perfect place...then I would be secure". How often have we thought something along these lines?
