Who Are You Following?
– with Andrew Ollerton

Matthew 7:13-23

Blessed are the peacemakers
You are the salt of the earth
Love your enemies
Anyone who looks lustfully has committed adultery
Give us today our daily bread
No one can serve two masters
Seek first God’s kingdom
Go the extra mile
Turn the other cheek
Do not worry
Do not judge
Do to others as you would have them do to you
– MATTHEW 5-7

Matthew 5:1-2

Living Distinctly - Living Securely - Living Wisely

– G.K. CHESTERTON - English writer and theologian

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done’, and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done’. All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell.”
– C.S. LEWIS - British writer and theologian

“The twenty-first century has left us with a maximum of choice and a minimum of meaning.”
