Sermon: Who Is The Holy Spirit

The Holy Trinity is perhaps one of the most difficult concepts that Christians face, so to be asked to preach about the identity of the Holy Spirit was a very special challenge for me.

Dignity, Truth, Justice

By Rohan ⋅ April 14, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

As always at this time of year, my thoughts are with the families of those who died, and those who survived. The pain they have carried is a burden few of us can imagine, and the dignity with which they have done so is an example to us all.

The Gift Of Hope

By Rohan ⋅ October 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment
