The Cross and City of God
St Christopher's Discipleship Team ran a mid-week Lent series led by Rev Dr Peter Carrell.
Entitled 'The Cross and the City of God', this series explores cities, and in particular the amazing picture of the 'City of God' painted for us in Revelation chapter 21.
This is the future made possible for us because Jesus died on the cross and was raised to life. To add spice to the series, each week Peter will consider a theologian called John.
