Bible

Is the Bible just another book, a piece of fiction with made up stories? Or is it something much more amazing, beautiful and powerful? We believe it is the latter and in this part of our foundations series Steiner shares what we believe about the Bible.

Why should we read the Bible?
- For our personal relationship with God
- To know God’s commands
- To have clarity and confirmation
- To know his promises

Key Quotes

complaining of a silent God with your bible closed, is like complaining about getting no texts, with your phone off.

Money

Chris — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 11:00:49 +0000

Today Martin preached on the topic of Money. Money is an important topic, as it can have a big impact on us and yet, we can also get it so wrong and lead to such a negative impact on other christians. So what is a healthy perspective on money? One that isn’t manipulative but instead seeks to use money for God’s kingdom.

Key Quote

How we spend our money and our time has as much to do with the kingdom as any other topic in the series.
