In a world where it feels everyone is ready to argue, it’s easy to be defensive about our own assumptions.
But if we are going to see the world differently, we need to allow our assumptions about life to be challenged.
It’s what Jesus did to people in his time. It’s what he still does.
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.
As we go into the second month of the year, things are settling down, so there’s not quite so much to let you know about this month.
But we hope what we do have helps…
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?
What happens when we die?
What are our hopes for those who have already died?
What is our ultimate hope?
