What King Is Announced By A Star? Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 4, 2021

Last Sunday we started our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. There are lots of ways in which Jesus is NOT your usual king. Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more

Prince Of Peace Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Dec 24, 2021

Jesus Christ has the nickname and title of ‘Prince of Peace’ because He offers us peace with God. He offers us peace with God because Jesus took His perfect obedient faithful life to God and laid down His life for us on a cross and paid our penalty for our imperfect disobedient faithless life.
