That’s not space, that’s just really high in the sky. . . I was brought up watching Star Trek, watching them “Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before”. When I was 9, I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon and when I was 17 I was introduced to the conflicts that were happening…
What Jesus said about. . . Fear
What Jesus Said About Fear So, what are you afraid of? What it is that sends Goosebumps up and down your spine, brings your heart to your throat and makes you want to throw up just thinking about it? Snakes, heights, spiders, enclosed spaces? Back in the day one of my favourite shows was “Fear…
I want a Submarine
I want a submarine. Which is bizarre since I have never really wanted a submarine, except when I was 12. But I want one now. It doesn’t have to be fancy or even yellow, any old sub will do as long as it floats when it is supposed to and doesn’t float when it not…
What Jesus Said About . . . Hate
If we were to ask you to name the opposite of a particular word it would be easy, right? Up, down. Right, left or right, wrong. In, out. Black, white. Happy, sad. What about love?

They will know we are Christians by our. . .

What Jesus said about Love
Last month our focus was “What Jesus Said About Money” and money is something that affects all of us in one way or another. Some of us because we have it and others of us because we don’t. And last week at the end of the series we had Step Up Sunday and we asked…
