Simon Benham: Guilt is feeling bad about what we do. Shame is feeling bad about who we are. We all have areas of our life where we can prone to feeling shame. How do we break free from those feelings and find genuine freedom?

Fran Harrison looks at the offences - small and insignificant, or deep and painful - that we carry, and how they can ruin Christmas and all that the season stands for unless we let them go. She explores a couple of ways we can do that.

Paul Manwaring: Paul has an incredible ministry to mainland Europe and to us in the UK having been on staff at @bethel church in California for a number of years. He shares God's heart with us with a powerful prophetic message on our faith and God's love.

Ben Oliver: If we're honest, we can identify with every character in the Good Samaritan parable Jesus told. Sadly, the Priest and the Levite in the story totally ignore the man in need. We can do the same, even when we're trying really hard to be kind! Why? And what can be done about it so God can use us more as a blessing to those in need around us?
