After you've met Jesus, you are never the same again. In this guide Leighton Ford will lead you through thirteen studies from the Gospels that will open your eyes anew - or for the first time - to Jesus Christ.

The ministry God called Jeremiah to was difficult and painful: to proclaim God's demanding love. Yet with this burden God gave the prophet a great gift - the gift of his presence. The example of their rich relationship will show us how we can grow to be more deeply open to God than ever before.

How do we practice real conversation with God? Instead of prayer becoming an agenda of our needs for God to handle, how can we experience his presence as part of our everyday life? How do we hear what he is saying back to us? As we explore the disciplines of prayer and listening through these six sessions, we will draw closer to God in everything that we do.

The Bible looks at the coming of our Saviour from many different angles. We see the birth of the Messiah from the perspectives of his parents, his aunt and uncle, shepherds doing a day's work, far-off Magi and nearby despots - even the way prophets from centuries before saw things.

Through these Bible studies, you will meet the risen Jesus Christ and hear his words. May he encounter you in your life situations, encourage your faith and trust in him, and excite you about engaging others in discussions about Jesus.
