Our three week Easter series is reflecting on the events from Palm Sunday to the Road to Emmaus through the lens of subversion.

In this first sermon of our new sermon podcast, we're jumping in to our long running journey through the book of Acts. We consider the first part of chapter 22, in which Paul has to confront a large, angry crowd and the question, what is more important, being right or being humble and loving?
