Morning Bible Ministry

God has "called us out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9). So, how do we live in today's dark world with confidence in the light of our resurrection hope?

Jason Roach, (Mission Director, London City Mission) will preach from the book of 1 Peter in our Bible ministry gatherings each morning.
