This series will grow your understanding of the Bible and your desire to worship God through song. This week Laura talked about the song ‘Hymn of Heaven’ by Phil Wickham.

The parable of the wedding feast

Here are the video links from this week: The first snippet from Dr…

People who get a glimpse of the world to come encounter a majesty that is beyond their ability to fully comprehend, but that draws them in to desire more. It turns out that this heavenly world is the one that the Bible has been pointing to all along.…
Imagine Heaven – Relationships in Heaven
Imagine Heaven – Relationships in Heaven When I die, will I still be myself? Will I have a body or will I be some kind of angel or spirit? Will I see the people I know and love and will we recognise each other? These are some of the most fundamental questions of the heart and soul in each person, and the Bible has something to say about each of them! Here are the video links from this week of…
