| Summary: The resurrection of Jesus to a new kind of life means that those who believe in him also have a new life. The powers of evil do not have final control over them.

| Summary: It’s not easy to live in a country not your own, surrounded by languages you don’t speak, customs you don’t understand and value systems that don’t quite align with your own.
