Is a change of heart really impossible? Are we powerless before the patterns, routines and rut of sinful living and thinking?
In Deut 7, Moses writes to Israel as they stand on the cusp of finally entering the Promised Land. These words served to strengthen and encourage God’s people. What might we be able to learn and glean from this passage?
Into this complicated world of speaking loudly to no one and everyone, how should we steward influence and leadership, especially for those of us who occupy a position, both formally and informally in communities and organisation which bear the name of Christ?
This is a question that is commonly asked and sometimes seem too big to handle. It can seem intimidating and daunting. But if you’re looking to start to understand this topic, and to also answer questions that those around you might have, here are some helpful resources:
This past week, the church celebrated the life of J.I Packer, who was called home to be with the Lord and left behind a body of work that blessed the church with his writings.

We will devote some time studying the Doctrine of Scripture and to some of us, this could seem like an esoteric topic at first glance. But this isn’t just for seminarians.
