Living with Mystery
Welcome to the podcast.
I shall be developing many themes here. The aim is to provide a short 10 minute talk to help us understand the bible's many messages and mysteries. The God who inspired His Word is shrouded in wonderful mystery; getting to grips with this will enrich our faith. I hope this podcast will also stimulate us to be more committed to Jesus.
