Sealed in the Spirit
This Sunday our church begins a new teaching series going through the book of Ephesians. A key theme of the book is the work of the Spirit.

What is Ephesians all about?
Yesterday, I gave an overview of Ephesians based on five key phrases from the book. We can however get a little bit tighter as we seek to sum up what the main message of the book is. Whenever I prepare a sermon, I try to sum up the core message in one or two sentences. … Continue reading What is Ephesians all about?
Ephesians in 5 short statements

Prodigals, Adam, Death and Resurrection (An Easter reflection)
It’s Easter Sunday and I find myself drawn back to three key things in Luke’s Gospel. First, we have the Resurrection Sunday afternoon walk on the Emmaus Road. Jesus works his way through Scripture to show that the whole account was pointing towards him and his death and resurrection.
