Rev Ian Moore speaks on Pentecost Sunday

If you’re tired of going through the motions of an attendance-based faith, then discover what it means to live a vibrant, abundant life fully devoted to the God whose immeasurable love for you is based on His promise, not your performance. Recover faithfulness in your relationships. Learn to practise world-changing justice and radical generosity. And even amidst the struggles and imperfections of...

God wanted His people to give so they’d live out, practically, the truth that they were merely stewards of God’s stuff, on loan to them. Is this still true for us today?

The second in our series for Lent on the prayers of Jesus

The Prayers of Jesus - The Raising of Lazarus is a very emotional account and Jesus is not exempt from the emotions. Maybe we feel like our faith is dead in a tomb – what will it take to pray that Jesus can bring it back?
