This weekend we continue our series on ‘Romans: The Heart of Truth’, with Simon Chaplin speaking on the topic ‘The spirit of glory’ from Romans chapter 8 verses 26 to 30.

During both our services this weekend, we will have a special book review from one of our church members from a book that they have recently read.

At our 5pm Saturday service we will have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

1. How does the Bible describe the soul, which is the only thing that survives this life?
2. Is everything we see with our eyes recorded in our memory?
3. If you are not aware of a particular sin that you may be committing, are you still able to have a good relationship with God?
4. Should Christians try to influence the ethical decisions made with artificial intelligence technology?

Our 8am Sunday service will be a Morning Prayer Sunday service.

During our 5pm Saturday service we will have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

1. Knowing that there will not be marriage in the new heaven, will there be marriage in the new earth?
2. If life is found on Mars, do you think it will impact the credibility of the Biblical teaching on creation?
3. What happened to the other Homo sapiens who once lived on our planet, and did they have souls?
4. Do people who die of natural causes know when they are about to die?
5. How do we put to death the misdeeds of the body?
6. Since our human bodies are subject to death because of sin, why don’t Christians become immortal once they have been forgiven for their sin?
7. Was there a biological change in humanity after the fall?
8. Given that by our sinful natures we cannot be sinless, at what point is sin counted as ‘living’ according to the flesh?
9. Why is the sin of sex before marriage given so much emphasis in Christianity?
10. Would it ever be appropriate to have a speaker of the Jewish faith at our Men’s and Ladies’ dinners?
