What does it mean to be a world changer?

Biblical History tells us of others who turned their world upside down with totally different effect. Around AD 50, two men arrived in the Aegean seacoast town of Thessalonica. They were tired and weary after their long journey from Philippi to Amphipolis, then onwards to Apollonia, then to Thessalonica. On arrival they chose to find [...]

Bridging the Sunday – Monday gap

By Derek Brown
For many Christians the highlight of their week is the Sunday service. Sadly many believe this is where the Kingdom of God is primarily expressed.
