With Christmas just around the corner, Steve shares how the Magi radically responded to the unsettling call home, as they found and followed the star that led them to Jesus. It may not sound too Christmassy, but maybe that’s what Christmas is all about, to ‘follow the star’ away from where we are and closer to Jesus?

Into Advent, and Si considers the storms surrounding Mary & Joseph and how they found home in the midst of it all.

Beginning our Home For Christmas series, Si looks at how Jesus is our Home. Home is more than a location even our relationships, it is peace only found with Him.
