THE HOPE OF HOME - CATCH-UP & LISTEN AGAIN
Yesterday morning, we finished our teaching series The Hope of Home.
Since Easter, we've been looking at "Life, Death and Everything After" - exploring questions so many of us have. The overarching theme of the series has been that 'it is the Resurrection of Jesus that sets the terms for Christian thought and conviction about life, death and what comes next.'
You can listen again or catch up with any of the talks from this series on the 'Watch, Listen & Learn' section of our website (link in comments).
