Our Mission of the Month for May is Africa Inland Mission (AIM), a cause that is close to our hearts as a church (and a number of our members in particular). Phil Gibson, a representative of AIM joins us this week to speak about his connection to the ministry of AIM.

In the final part of the Life in the Spirt series, Andrew Webb looks at Paul’s description of spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6 and explains who this battle is being fought between and what God has given us to defend ourselves against attack.
The Apostle Paul extends the implications of being the dwelling place of God corporately to the whole of life. He shows practical examples of how mutual submission works out in real life situations. This is what it looks like when we live in step with the Spirit.
