BIBLE THINGS
When switching from my old website to my new one, not everything made the jump and so i am creating this as a base page to stick helpful links about Bible-related things that will hopefully prove to be helpful resoources for you.
So far i have worked through the Psalms in a series i called ‘Psalmthings’, and then i did short video blogs through the book of Mark in a series called ‘Mark: My words’ and i also did a section where i looked at various of my ‘Favourite Verses’ that i enjoy and spoke a little bit about why.
In the not too distant future i will hopefully have the links back in here so you can make the most of them…
