Over the summer, our church ran a series on Evangelism called “Sharing life, sharing Jesus”. Partly because we could not cover everything we would have liked to in this short series and partly because I thought the materials might be useful to others, here is a set of video talks going over some of the… Continue reading sharing life, sharing Jesus

The sermon I would have preached at the Unite the Kingdom Rally
There’s been some discussion about the wisdom of attending the recent Tommy Robinson rally even if to speak and share the Gospel.
