HTK Podcast12/09/10 - Acts 11, David Gale. Just Do It!This is a striking sermon that challenges the entire way that we do 'church'. David uses Acts 11 to show us a model of how to share the good news of the gospel.The implications are huge!

Really they should be listened to as a series, as series God has put together to speak clearly to us.2010-09-1309 minHTK Podcast05/09/10 - Acts 10, Rev Nick GrewReturning to our series on the book of Acts.
