St Saviour's Church | Sunday Teaching

After last week John continues to speak on 'The way of the heart', specifically speaking about relationships by unpacking Jesus case studies of Murder, Adultery, and Divorce. John gives us an invitation to deepen our own relationships, and through repentance receive Gods value for each one of us.

After the excitement of the Easter narrative, Jo speaks on the power encounter with the risen Jesus on the Road to Emmaus, asking the question : “Will you give me your heart and do you want mine?”

Following Good Friday and Holy Week, Jo walks us though the Story of Easter Sunday and what His resurrection means for us today.
