Faith in the Journey: Looking back, looking ahead

Remember your Leaders
Apparently, every time you sip a Mocha you taste the whole history of the New World. This was Sarah Vowell’s idea: “From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on … Continue reading

“Oh and by the way…. ” (Relationship Check List)
The letters of the New Testament often seem to conclude with a few “Oh and by the way” moments. It’s like a quick list of “Dos and Don’ts” coming from a travelling supervisor to local churches. So in Hebrews 13:1-6, … Continue reading

Faith that Endures Trials
