Malcolm uses the analogy of a modern brick wall to show how each brick is separated from the rest by a bed of mortar. A rough stone wall is strong because it relies on the contact with its fellow stones. If we surround ourselves with our Christian brothers and sisters, we can become strong when we are part of something bigger!m_88897Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://chcc.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=88897&fullpage=TrueFollowing on in Joshua, we hear how he built an alter from unfinished stones as was written in the book of the law of Moses.

David also asks the question "What does Jesus's death and resurrection mean to us and how does it affect our lives"? We hear how when we give our lives to Jesus, our old self 'dies' and we are 'reborn' in Christ and by His Grace, our sins are forgiven. As the bible says, "We are dead to sin"....Amen to that!....m_87270Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://chcc.org.uk/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=87270&fullpage=TrueToday's message shows us the power of God's Grace.

We hear one of the most beautiful and charming biblical stories today as Leon looks in depth at it and dispels some of the myths and distortions that have crept in over the past 2000 yrs.
