Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.    -1 Peter 3:15
We all have questions. Our questions frame our beliefs and the conclusions we reach determine our faith. But how do we answer tough questions? In this Series we look at some of the tough questions of life. These are questions that people have asked us and our hope is that they will equip you not only with answers but a way in which to answer questions with Grace and Truth.
11 Isn't believing in the resurrection ridiculous?
The resurrection of Jesus makes all the difference. In this Easter message, Nick concludes our tough questions series, looking at the encounter Thomas had with the Jesus.  How Jesus answers our questions and doubts. Easter is all about a New Day. What would it look like if we lived each new day in light of the resurrection?

10 Who is Jesus?
Who do you believe Jesus was? And is? Was he just a historical figure or just a good teacher? Was he more than that? What if Jesus really was who he said he was?  In this talk Mark looks at, how knowing who Jesus is, should make all the difference to how we live life and that "Knowing who Jesus is, is the start not the finish!"

09 Why plant churches?
Today we celebrate "Church Planting Sunday" and are joined by two intrepid church planters, Tim & Hannah Illsley, who are planting a Vineyard church in Mansfield. We asked them "Why them?", "Why Mansfield?' and "How do you plant a church?"
08 Why does God allow suffering?
We all experience pain and suffering. It is part of being human. Why? Why does God allow it? When we suffer or see suffering the immediate question is "Why?" We want to make sense of it. In this talk Nick, using the book of Job, looks at the tough question of "Why does God allows suffering?"

06 Can we trust the Bible?
Susy Ndaruhutse asks "Can we trust the Bible?" What about objections to the Bible? Ultimately, it’s not about having faith in a book (the Bible) but faith in the person of Jesus who is the central character of the book.

03 Does God exist and can He be known?
In this talk Nick gives some reasons for not believing God exists, then raises some clues for the existence of God, finally concluding that arguing for 100% proof of God is not enough. It's personal and all rests on the God we see revealed in the person of Jesus.

02 What is life all about?
We live. We die. Then there is this stuff called life in between. What is life all about? Using the book of Ecclesiastes, Nick asks, " Is there more to life than 'being happy'?" and "What gives life 'meaning'?" Jesus came not to make people happy but to bring meaning to life.

We all have questions, our questions frame our beliefs and the conclusions we reach determine our faith. But how do we answer tough questions? With Grace and Truth.
