Here are details of some of the things that are happening over the next few weeks, as well as one or two helpful links elsewhere.
Jesus finished the Sermon on the Mount with the simplest of commands – don’t just listen to all this, live it out!
How do we make sure that we don’t get deceived by fake Christians – and perhaps more importantly, how do we make sure we are not the fakes!

If you’ve got questions about faith please do come along, whether you’re just exploring Christianity or you’re a Christian who wants a safe place to ask questions, we’d love to have you join us for our next Alpha!

If we do follow Jesus’ teaching, what might it look like today?
