Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 24, 2020

Without Jesus in our lives, sin takes hold; weeds start to grow up in the garden of our lives. But the consequences for eternity are much more serious. However, does scripture really lead us to expect the 'pains of hell for ever'?

Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021

We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more

It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more
