Remembrance Sunday Talk

On Remembrance Sunday, it is a time to reflect on the wars that have been fought in our recent history, but perhaps also about the wars going on in the world now.

Today, I want to focus on the horror of war.

Finding Mercy (Luke 18:9-14)

Where does your confidence lie? In the government, family, friends or yourself?

I wonder particularly in the past few weeks whether we have questioned where ourContinue reading “Finding Mercy (Luke 18:9-14)”
