"I believe because of the evidence of Jesus resurrection and because of my experience of the truth of his words. That evidence and my experience compels me to believe it really happened Jesus, really rose from the dead.

When I read the eyewitness accounts of Jesus resurrection it hit me - these people are telling the truth." St Aldates, Oxford

"To help you step into the purpose and calling He's given you, to heal you from the inside out, we need to realise that in and of ourselves we can do nothing. We need to come to the end of ourselves and say "I can't live this life on my own anymore I'm empty." We have to come to the realisation that the things that we've trusted in relationships, money, prestige, glory, drugs, or sex, or gambling, all the things that we've tried to fill the void in our soul, it doesn't satisfy." HTB London
