    Only God can stand against the evil that humans beings have brought into his world. he's done this by sending Jesus to become one of us, taking our place, becoming our substitute in facing God's anger and allowing humanity to be remade in God's image.

    Why the Cross A Sermon series based on the book of the same name by Dr Leon Morris I trust no-one here would doubt that the cross is central to the Christian faith. Without the cross Christianity becomes just another religion, emptied of its power. The cross is central to our life together; central ...read more

    It is the cross of Christ which is the object at once of His shame and His glory. This classic sermon by A. B. Simpson looks first at the marks of the Lord Jesus, and then at their reproduction in His followers.

The world describes a mark that has been branded into the flesh, and suggests the idea of the cruel practice of certain ...read more
