And you are thinking, “Well that is a bit of a strange name … Jexit. But the name comes from the word Brexit where Britain is trying to leave the European ...read more

One of the great things about preaching – is that before the message ever gets to you I’ve spent hours and hours in ...read more

    In many ways the Christian church is a church in exile as many of our traditional power bases have been lost. We are not to focus on things of man, but things of God, in prayer and faith. Perseverance in prayer is the key.
