George Eapen speaks from Matthew 22: 34 - 40 on how we are to love God, in the ways we serve Him, worship Him and think about Him. We are also to love our neighbours. How do we show our love for God each day? What are the ways in which we are tangibly loving our neighbours?

Heather Harper speaks from Matthew 7: 7 - 12 on how Jesus teaches us to persevere in prayer, knowing that we ask God who is a good, good Father. We can approach God with confidence in prayer because we know that He wants to give us good gifts: are we knocking, seeking, asking God? Do we really believe He is a good Father?
