A number of people have asked me for my notes from last Sunday’s message in which we covered an outline of the Gospel from the book of Roman’s. As my notes are not fit to publish and I didn’t have the foresight to print the points on a bookmark, here...

Let me ask you a question. Does watching the World Cup give us a unique insight upon the world’s prayer life? Over the last few years players have become increasingly vocal about their faith. Once a player may have ‘crossed themselves’ when entering the field of play; now we see...
