White-anting... For many people fortunate enough to own a home, it is well known that protecting it is time consuming, expensive and not without risks.

Introduction Last week we started to explore the idea of journeying through the wilderness with Jesus for Lent.

To…

Journeys are important. Sometimes we need reminded the journey is just as important as the destination. Advent is a journey of expecting God to show up in our world. This is part of the purpose we find ourselves in. If we are not careful we can quickly just appear at Christmas, the same with Easter,…
