Meeting in Manhattan - Audio

Dry Bones - Audio

Nov 24th, 2019 37m 52s

Can these dry bones live? Son of man? Can they? Ezekiel is asked whether he has the faith to witness the transformation of a nation, the turning of hopelessness into hope - can it be done? Church ... can it be done? Can we be the light bearers?

Not Just Input - Audio

Oct 20th, 2019 35m 54s

In Season - Audio

Oct 13th, 2019 36m 50s

The Israel community were largely an agricultural society throughout the Old and New Testament, which is why there are so many verses relating to farming; sowing, pruning, harvesting. This week we apply this thinking to our own Christian walk -

Where's Your Nose - Audio

Oct 6th, 2019 35m 59s
