I am a big fan of the Marvel Superhero films (or if you want to be geeky – the Marvel Cinematic Universe) that have been released since 2008, starting with one of my favourites ‘Iron Man’. The film ‘The Avengers – End Game’ was so epic I nearly burst with joy, such was its brilliance. It had everything, oh wow! Sorry I got carried away then just thinking about it again! The basic premise of these films tends to be the same, there is a baddie who either wants to destroy the world or control it, and there is a goodie (the superhero) who comes and saves the day! I love it! OK, I know I may have slightly oversimplified it, but you get it.

In times of difficulty and distress, we are prone to ask, “When will this end?” And we’re not alone. Most everyone asks the same question …
We are living in difficult, and for some, dark times. People are asking, ‘Where is God?’. When tragedy strikes or things go seriously wrong, people often ask that question.
Many of those who have had a relationship with the living God have asked, often in desperation, why is this happening to me, or why is that happening to them? These questions have been asked countless times over the centuries and many are recorded for us in God’s Word where even great men and women of God were asking them.
A birthday celebration. That’s what Christmas is all about. But is it accurate to say that Jesus has a birthday in the same sense that you or I do? Did life begin for Jesus with his first breath of Judean air? Unlike us, Jesus existed before his birth. In fact, Jesus existed before there was air to breathe, long before the world was born …
