Christchurch Sermons

"I believe that in all men's lives at certain periods, and in many men's lives at all periods between infancy and extreme old age, one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring and the terror of being left outside…"  CS Lewis In Matthew 18: 5-10, Jesus speaks against one of the strongest instincts of human kind, the desire to form cliques and separate from those socie...
