Breakout: 2 – Would the real gospel please stand up?
Ian Gray
Acts 2, the story of Pentecost – but what’s that actually about? Is it about the Church? Is it about the Holy Spirit? Those things come into it – but the real star of the show is Jesus, and the theme is the Gospel.
Advent: Living in Between – 1
Ian Gray
Today is the start of Advent – the four weeks in the run up to Christmas. The word Advent just means “coming”, and it’s a time not only to remember when Jesus came as a baby, but also to prepare ourselves as we await his coming as the King of Glory. One has already happened, [ more… ]

I Am: 6 – The Way, The Truth and The Life

Doctor’s Report 6: Setting your face
Ian Gray
