Exodus 25-31, 35-40What is the point of life? Some say there is no point, no design, no purpose. Others say there’s just the meaning we give to life. Others still say there is an ultimate purpose. But where do we find it? In an unlikely place. In a tent in the desert in the Middle East in 1500BC.
John 2:1-12The first miracle Jesus did was to turn 210 litres of ordinary water into the very best wine. Apart from rescuing a wedding reception from social disaster, what was the point? And what relevance does it have with life today?

Exodus 24:1-18William Tyndale said that the gospel is good news that “makes a man’s heart glad and makes him sing, dance and leap for joy”. But what is so good about the good news? And how can we grasp that more? And how can we recover our joy in it if we’ve lost it?
Exodus 18:1-12 ‘Did you even hear what I said?’ is a phrase that gets used a lot- at work, at home, in relationships. Exodus wants to ask us the same question- have we heard what God’s said about himself in his great acts of deliverance. Listen in as we watch one man responding rightly.
John 1:14 Sigmund Freud famously claimed that belief in God is just a projection of our childhood need to have the love and protection of a father-figure. Does it matter if he was right? What evidence is there that he was wrong?
Matthew 4:4 Are you someone who eats?! Of course! Our physical bodies need food to sustain them; the physical life we have needs food in order to continue.
