Nationalism tends to present globalism as it’s opposite opponent. Now at its simplest, globalism is about how everyone is interconnected, politically, economically, culturally so that nations cannot make decisions in isolation.

Return of the King: video series
If you fancy digging into a book of the Bible through the summer, here is a series of talks on the book of Revelation …and here is the accompanying E-Book.
Return of the King
We want to read the times rightly. Recent events in the Middle East including October 7th 2023, the Gaza conflict and the recent military engagement between Israel and Iran have got people talking about “The End Times.” This often gets people looking up the book of Revelation with its beasts and dragons. Is the book… Continue reading Return of the King
Iran and Israel
We won’t up this morning to reports of a massive military attack by Israel on Iran. Israel’s declared intent is to neutralize a potential nuclear threat from Iran. How do we respond?

The Generation that will not pass away
Mark 13:30 has provoked plenty of debate. What does Jesus mean when he says that “This generation will not pass away?” It appears at first sight that he has been asked about when the world will end and he’s answered that “this generation”, those standing in front of him will be alive to see the… Continue reading The Generation that will not pass away
How do you respond when your world is ending?
Do you remember where you were when the Berlin Wall came down or when those aircraft flew into the Twin Towers? Perhaps some readers will be a little too young to remember those events but all of us well remember the day when lockdown was announced in response to the global pandemic. In each of… Continue reading How do you respond when your world is ending?
