Chris — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 16:17:53 +0000

Last week we looked at Kingdom culture (or should that be Kulture?) and this week we are looking at the other side, our current, post-modern culture. Kirsten looks at how it is different, how it has affected the church and how Paul’s advice to the church in colossea applies for us as well.
