    Stress and Disappointment come into every life. Christians are provided a powerful response to such stressors, and this powerful response is revealed in Paul's review of his own life.

    “We have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us. In every way we’re troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. We are always carrying around the death of Jesus in our ...read more

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 15, 2021
     | 2,189 views

    God wants human life to have a rhythm to it and meeting together on Sunday helps us to establish that rhythm.

For the past 16 months most of us haven’t been gathering, or at least, not in person. Two weeks ago we started to meet again. So I think ...read more

    Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord 2025 If the name “Melchizedek” does not bring any pictures into your head, please don’t feel uneducated. We are given today just a snatch from the story in the Book of Genesis. You may know that the Israelites assembled Torah over a period of many years, ...read more
