Time Together
'Relationships deepen through meaningful communication, and our relationship with the living God who created us will only develop and grow if we are in frequent communication with him.' Thus Susan Sayers offers her prayers with the hope that they will become the starting point which enables you to carry on praying in your own words, pouring out to God who both loves and listens whatever is on your mind or in your heart. There are acts of praise and wonder, thanksgiving and love, springing from ordinary, everyday work and relationships, and the real world we all inhabit. There are expressions of grief and pain, confusion and disappointment, which are just as important to bring to God as the good times and the moments of spiritual uplift. And there are frameworks for intercession which you can use daily as you pray for your church, your community, and the needs of the world.

In All Senses
Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste are the five physical senses, but there are many more senses we can use to explore the meaning of Christmas - a sense of balance, a sense of justice, a sense of wonder, a sense of mystery, a sense of purpose, and so on. In all Senses focuses on these many senses, making connections through them with the Jesus story and the Christian journey. For each day of the four weeks of Advent there is a reading, reflection, response and a prayer. By exploring the story of Christ's birth through all our senses we can come to it afresh, welcome him with renewed delight and worship him with a deeper sense of intimacy.

Through
Jesus' cries from the cross offer lasting hope to all who look to him. They were, and still are, famous last words!Death, not space, is the final frontier. It takes no prisoners. There is no reprieve for good behaviour. Money can't buy a way out. Its shadow looms over all humanity. Shrouded in mystery, the thought of it leaves most of us overwhelmed with fear. If the short-sighted solution is not to think about it, is there anyone who has faced death, lived to tell the tale and can show us the way through?For centuries the words of one man have given lasting hope to all those facing the ultimate challenge that death poses. His name is Jesus. The Bible says that God sent him to set free all those who were overwhelmed by their fear of death. He claimed that anyone who put their trust in him, and in what he said, would never die. Over the centuries, since he made that promise, millions of people have taken him at his word.Were they right to do so? Can we? Especially as, bizarrely, not long after Jesus made that statement he himself died, crucified on a Roman cross! My conviction is yes.In the six hours it took for him to die, Jesus didn't say much. Yet what he did say was profound. His seven 'cries from the cross' provide answers to humanity's deep need for forgiveness, security and belonging. They fill the human heart with confidence, that when we close our eyes on this life God will take us home. To prove that he meant what he said, Jesus rose from the dead.
