John 12:36-50 Despite the census results, the experience of many believers on the ground is that Jesus’ teaching is often ignored or rejected. Why is Jesus rejected? And does the rejection of Jesus undermine his claims?

John 12:27-36 If there were a Creator God who wants to reveal himself to human beings, would he really do it through one Jewish peasant, in one place, at one time? It all sounds so ludicrously low-key and pathetic. Listen in to find out why.
John 12:12-26 Woody Allen famously said: “death renders anyone’s accomplishments meaningless”. So is there any way we can spend our lives doing something which will really last?
John 12:1-11 Most people agree that faith can be a good thing so long as people don’t take it too seriously – moderation in all things. But is that right? Where do we draw the line between fanaticism and passion?
John 11:38-57 Woody Allen once wrote: “Death is absolutely stupefying in its terror…It makes our lives look as irrelevant as waves breaking over the sea shore.” Even those of us who are convinced that there’s something better beyond death, still can find the thought of it very frightening. How can we approach our own deaths joyfully and confidently?
John 11:17-37 Is death just part of “the circle of life” (as the Lion King assures us)? Is it “nothing at all, [just] slipping away into the next room” (as one popular funeral poem puts it)? How are we to think about death? And especially, how are we to find comfort and hope when we experience the deaths of those close to us?
John 11:1-16 Pain and death confront us with the question of how a good God can allow so much suffering. This is a question we need to consider so that we can put the anchors in place before the storm hits.
