Heavenly Horizons.


Hello again!
Have you ever asked a trick question to catch someone out? The Sadducees in Jesus time wanted to trick him into siding with themselves or the Pharisees so they could label him and thus either claim him or dismiss him.
Join Pastor John as he opens up Luke 20:27-38 and see the timeless truths revealed inside.

Everyday Saints.


Hi All,
Once again the dreaded cold virus has laid me low over the last couple of weeks-seems I'm not as young as I used to be!!
However, I'm back on deck and ready with a new posting from Pastor John, (who's just back from leave, too!) which celebrates All Saints Day.
Who are the 'saints'? Listen as we find out that the body of believers are now saints in the eyes of God, only and all because of Christ's death on the cross.
