Everyone likes a good story, especially when there’s a surprise at the end.

Jesus is famous for the stories he told. And many people still read and listen to his words today. Why? — because Jesus’ words seem to understand us and explain us. And they open up the way for us to know God.

In Tales of the Unexpected you’ll find four simple but startling stories that Jesus told. You’ll find some surprising things about yourself, about God and about life.

Using a modern, easy-to-understand translation of the Bible, and the accompanying DVD, Tales of the Unexpected will help you understand who Jesus is, why he came, and the difference he can make for people today.

The next 4-week evening course open to anyone starts on Monday 21st May at 8 p.m. meeting in Christ Church. For more details, including information about daytime courses that will be running soon, please contact the church office.
