Learning to follow Jesus in 21st Century Australia
If God offered to give you anything, what would you ask for? An offer like this can present us with almost endless possibilities. We could ask for our mortgage to be paid off, to travel around Australia or the world, or a holiday home where we can spend winters in a warmer climate. Or we... Continue Reading →
There are a lot of things we can learn from YouTube. Since it was launched in 2005 it has become the world’s second-biggest search engine behind Google with more than 2.7 billion users every month.
