Future
April Fool
Have you ever got caught out on April Fools Day? Some people go to extremes to try and fool others when they least expect it. That can be fine for the one who’s playing the joke, but when you’re on the receiving end, that’s a different story. This week on Messages of Hope, Richard Mau will be giving hope and encouragement for the times we feel foolish.
Palm Sunday Hero
This week Christians celebrate Palm Sunday. It’s the day Jesus arrived in Jerusalem to cheering crowds, who wanted to make him king. Within a week the same people had supported his execution! What can we learn from such a dramatic turnaround? And what does it tell us about a God who allows his own creation to kill him! I hope you can join us this week as John Henderson talks about Palm Sundays hero.
Surviving Tough Times
When things are going wrong, we often ask “why me?”. And when the tough times seem to just keep coming, how do we make sense of it? Listen to Celia Fielke as she reflects with some friends about how we cope when life gets tough.
Changes
Do you want to make any changes this year? As we move into a new year, maybe there’s one or two things you’d like to change. Most of us have things we hope for and dream about for the future. But making those changes is often easier said than done. Especially when the changes you’d like to see are out of your control? Click here to listen as Richard and Celia discuss the challenges of making changes and how God can help us.
Are You Afraid?

Tears In The Morning
Have you ever experienced tears of joy and sadness at the same time! Perhaps it’s those milestones as your children grow up and become more independent. Or the wake after a funeral, as you remember the good times amongst the deep feelings of loss. How do you make sense of times like that? And where do you find the hope to keep moving forward. This week David Altus has encouragement for those times that we feel lost in grief.
