It is said that a vet can tell a lot about a dog owner he has never met just by observing the dog. What, I wonder, does the world learn about God by watching us his followers here on earth?

    Be A Good Soldier

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 16, 2021
     | 1,926 views

    'Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus', Paul tells Timothy. We look at the story of three men who did just that: Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer and ask why.

Today we’re moving on to chapter 2. But I’m going to approach the passage by a different route. I’m going to take a look at three ...read more

    We always associate a hearse with death. What about baptism? How do we look at baptism? Doesn’t baptism represent death to an old way of life and the beginning of new life as a new creature in Christ? Paul said it did!
