Last night at ‘Redefine‘, as explained in last week’s blog post, we started our teaching series looking at the person of Jesus: ‘Jesus is…‘ It was a fun night, with a great talk by our director Mr Tim Gough, as he looked at so many people around the world and throughout history have been influenced […]
