The good and beautiful life

Allan Bartlam | Matthew 4:23-5.2 | Matthew 7:24-29 

For the next few weeks we'll be focusing on "the greatest sermon ever preached". In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus set out the values of the Kingdom of God and challenged his followers to set out on an adventure of faith. Martin and Allan introduce the series and encourage us too to live life to the full.
