Are you facing a 'giant' in your life this New Year? Have you been told that you're too young; you're the wrong size, you're too inexperienced? If you know God has said "yes" to you, but people are saying "no" and you're facing opposition, Tom offers encouragement from the biblical account of a young teenage boy who stood up to a giant and said "Someone should fight Goliath!"

Mike shares great wisdom and insight into the Promises of God and the price to be paid either by us or by God himself. He encourages us that God is always faithful and that to share in his promises we must do our part.

Mike encourages us from the Genesis 18 account, where God-in-person visits Abraham at his tent and makes a promise to him that sounds so ridiculous, his wife Sarah sniggers in response. But true to his word, God fulfils his promise, and just like he said "This time next year" Sarah gave birth to a son and God turned her snigger to laughter! He can do the same for you.

If you've got problems or pain, this message is for you. Dara encourages us to Pray Until Something Happens and to seize every opportunity to do so, in the powerful Name of Jesus.

Mike looks at the Christmas story from Luke's gospel, chapter one, but from a different angle. The Christmas story of the Bible is not all tinsel and fluff; it contains a lot of serious things too, things we can learn from for our own lives.

Whatever about having new clothes for Christmas; Tom encourages us to be like King David and set aside our royal robes; and humble ourselves before the Lord.

Tom encourages us to be a friend to someone before Christmas, like Mary was to Elizabeth when she made the journey to her house. The baby in Elizabeth's womb, John the Baptist, leapt when Mary arrived. Tom suggests that becoming a friend amidst this busy season, will be life-giving and bring joy.
