The earliest I can remember the Street Preacher downtown Sarnia was back around Halloween of 2011. We were having a pirate themed Murder Mystery Party at theStory and some friends dressed as pirates came running…
Over the last six months or so, our beautiful downtown Sarnia has been inhabited with a Street Preacher (the whole soapbox and everything) and an entourage of Street Preacher Disciples of a range of ages handing out…
It seems that the church has created only two kinds of people. Leaders and followers. Leaders are people that produce content and then followers are those that consume that content. Leaders are usually on staff,…
We are making our way through Acts at a fairly good pace and we are seeing how the gospel is starting to make its way to the ends of the earth. We are starting to…
So this morning we are finishing up Acts 11. Because it’s fairly short and there isn’t too much exegetical work that I am going to do, we are going to take some time and try…
My wife and I have had the luxury of traveling quite a bit over the last few years and a lot of that is thanks to our TD Infinite Visa. I did a bunch of research before…
