The Sermon On The Mount / The First Three Beatitudes Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 3, 2022

In the Beatitudes, Jesus states eight or nine things which result in us being 'blessed' - meaning, happy or fortunate. They are right at the heart of being right with God and they are very different to the things which most people think will make them happy or fortunate.

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Gentleness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

There’s no better display of gentleness in the Bible than Mary when she found out she was pregnant, and then gave ...read more
