Where is the best place to begin explaining the Gospel to a non-Christian? In Memphis a lady suggested to me that we should always begin with creation and Genesis – this is the Ken Ham approach. But we can begin at many different points. For me the key is the resurrection. If Christ is risen then everything is changed. Here is this weeks Premier ‘thought … Continue reading The Resurrection – The Best Starting Point for the Gospel – Magnificent Obsession
Take Heart with Matt Chandler Sometimes books from the US about cultural change, evangelism and the Bible don’t translate all that well outside of the US. Matt Chandler’s Take Heart is an exception. It’s a small book that packs an enormous punch and is just so encouraging.

Last Sunday was apparently quite a special one in St Peters – if you listen to the two services you will hear why – Sinclair’s sermon on the Cross is stunning, as is Andrew’s on Ezekiel. What struck me about both is that not only were they deeply biblical and faithful to the text, they were passionate and full of pathos and emotion. This is … Continue reading The Cross, the Temple and the Gospel – Sinclair Ferguson, Andy Robertson and John Owen
