The Bible tells us that when Jesus returns, he will create the new heavens and the new earth. But what will they be like? As we study what Scripture says, we can see they will be similar but different.
We’re called to live Christlike lives of grace, which follow in our Saviour’s footsteps. But how can we be guided into a life of service in the Church?

Tommy Toye was an unconventional and almost eccentric man in his everyday living, but the Lord used him. He was deeply committed to prayer. Do we want to see God at work in salvation?
