    Naomi and her family have wandered a long way from God’s promises - what sort of welcome will she find when she turns back?

    When it comes to handyman repair jobs, I reckon there’s a strange fascination. There is for me, anyway. If you want anything fixed around the house, CALL ME. You’ll probably be sorry. Because to be honest, the problem is, in my own mind, I’m BOB THE BUILDER. But in practice, all I usually do is ...read more

    This morning we’re going to listen to a loyal love story from the Book of Ruth. Many people have said that the Book of Ruth is the most beautiful short story ever written. It’s an account of anxiety, fear, love, and commitment that inflames the imagin

    This is the 1st study in the study "God Is On The Job". This is a study from the book of Ruth and this study looks at God’s presence even when we don’t realize it.

    GOD’S PRESENCE Ruth 1:1-22 It is hard to see that God is working in our lives sometimes. In fact it seems sometimes as if God is not there at all.
