Suffering

"Suffering is presented as a reflection of Jesus’ own experience... believers can find comfort knowing that Jesus has faced the ultimate depths of suffering and can identify with our pain."

Trusting in the Darkness

We delve into the profound struggles faced by the human soul, using Psalm 130 as a reference. Exploring the concept of the soul's inner life as a boardroom with members: mind, heart, will, conscience, memory, and imagination, Pastor Colin explains how these elements work together to determine one's future direction. Upon coming to faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit enters this 'boardroom' and provides new direction, offering hope and guidance through difficult times.
