  1. Episode 10 - The Man Behind the Letters - The Praxis of Ministry Pt 1 - by Paul Mannes

    Here we take a look at some of the early tensions within the early Christian Church. Was the work of Jesus for all people, Jews and Gentiles, or just the Jews. St Peter and St Paul both were giving revelations by the Holy Spirit that Jesus ministry was for all people. Some leaders in the…

    When was the last time you heard a sermon preached on Barnabas? Did you know he was a member of the ruling religious class in Jerusalem; he was a Levite, a Priest.
