Here is a short (but great!) reflection of one of our discussions during the Cor Deo Women’s Program back in February. Thanks to Gretchen for sharing! —————————————————————— During our walk-through of the Gospel of John during this year’s Cor Deo Women’s Programme, we were quite moved by the heart of John the Baptist towards Jesus. While […]
Recently Peter was invited to talk about ‘Lost in Wonder‘ on the radio – but not on just any old radio station! Moody Radio is based in Chicago and listened to by a million people throughout the USA each day. The wonderful Janet Parshall has chatted with Peter a few times on […]
Most of us have seen or used the bridge to life illustration at some point. Maybe you have even preached your way through it. On one side there is God and on the other there is humankind, and they are separated by a chasm (sin). Perhaps God is represented by a throne or a crown. […]
