So one day you head out to the car lot and you bring home a new Volvo C70 (completely loaded), and it’s parked in the driveway when you go ...read more

    Each one of us needs help from time to time. Of course, for most of us that’s the last thing we’ll do – that is, ask for help. We want to be independent rather than dependent on anyone. That can be see clearly near the end of life when oftentimes individuals are faced with breaking up ...read more

    Jesus was not just a great teacher and healer. He’s the risen Lord and Saviour, the Son of God who died and rose so we could be made righteous in God’s sight.
