1. When God Calls
Contributed on Oct 18, 2000
When God Called Moses he was reluctant to respond. But God kept calling until he went.
Exodus 3:1-4:17 If you’ve ever read missionary biographies, they’re full of stories of people who have given up a normal life, and in many cases extraordinary careers, to go to other parts of the world to tell people about Jesus.

5. God's Presence And Compassion
Contributed on Oct 18, 2000
God is a God who rescues his people, who continues to love them and forgive despite their repeated rebellion, and who chooses to come and dwell among them.
One of the questions we’re faced with more and more at the end of the 20th century, as we interact with other people, in this multi-faith, multicultural society of ours, is, ’how is our understanding of spiritual things different from that of others?’ More particularly how is our understanding of ...read more
