So, when Jesus promises that those who follow him will be 'clothed with power', what was he meaning? What was that power he spoke of and what was it for? This Sunday we will be celebrating Pentecost - the time when we remember the coming of the Hol...

The apostle Paul found himself in the very same battle, and this Sunday we'll look at what he had to say about the shooting match. Join us for our Morning Service at 10:30am. Ple...
