So, let's dive in! Our story comes from John 18:28-39. It's about Jesus being brought before Pontius ...read more

For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more
