We’re going to look at the big question about what it is when we come together ‘to church’. Is … Read more
When you think of it, there’s no greater organisation in the universe than God’s church. It’s vastly more significant than Apple, The Olympics, Coca Cola, and even McDonald’s! So, it would be logical to think that the way that the church would grow would be just like the way that those organisations grow. In some … Read more
There are many good good reasons why God might choose to build his church.
