The Liberating Law of God - The Ten Commandments

Old, irrelevant rules to be superceded by the wisdom of our modern world, or liberating laws relevant for today?  The sermon series draws upon insights gained through a number of events held by evangelist J. John in cities in England and which Rev. Peter Cook, now of Christ Church, had a part in organising. The dates and subjects of the sermons in this series are shown below. If you miss a sermon you can still listen to it by downloading it. To do so, click on "Sermon Downloads" in the green panel to the left on this page, and follow instructions from there.

Small-group notes for the series have been produced in booklet form and are downloadable as shown at the foot of this page. They are also available in printed format at Christ Church. They contain simple questions to help engage with the passages.
