I’ll give you anything and everything you ask: pleasure, power, honour, wealth, freedom, even peace of mind and a ...read more

    The Resurrection Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,975 views

    He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. The gospels each relate the account of the resurrection according to their own purpose, consequently there are considerable differences between the Gospels (refer to the recent bulletin insert for a harmonization of those events), but with all the ...read more

    The living church community is a learning church - a sharing church - a worshipping church and a witnessing church

    The New Society Acts 2: 42-47 Margaret Thatcher is famously credited with having said ’there is no such thing as society’.
