Ever felt that you weren’t quite hitting the mark? Does it seem that life isn’t all that you’d hoped it would be? Do you dream of more?

At the heart of the London vision is the raising up and releasing of 100,000 ambassadors – disciples who represent Jesus in the whole of their lives.

The heresy known as Marcionism is based on the belief that the character and teachings of Jesus do not fit with the God of the Old Testament.

This session uncovers why we need the Old Testament, and how the whole Bible reveals the same God to us.
