Philippians 3:12-21 “There must be more to life than living, there must be more than meets the eye, what good is life, if in the end we all must die, there must be more to life than this”. So sang Freddie Mercury. We may relate to the longing, but is there actually more or not? How can we know?
Philippians 3:1-11 Counterfeiting is one of the world’s biggest growth industries and now accounts for 5-7% of all global trade.

Acts 16:30-31 A few years back the BBC did a piece on the 101 greatest questions of all time. What’s interesting about the Bible though is that it doesn’t just answer the questions we’ve got – it gets us to ask ones of we may not even have thought.

1 Peter 3:18 What do the following have in common – an anchor, a dove, a shepherd, a fish, a lamb, a ship, a cross? They were all used as symbols of the Christian faith in the early Church.

1 Chronicles 28:1-18 Do you long to do something with your life that will make a difference in the world? Do you ever day-dream about giving up your job and going off to do something more useful?
