Last week we had the first of two special 'More to Life?' Sundays with guest testimonies.
Clover Todman shared very movingly about the death of his wife Sarah three years ago and how God sustained him through this. He gave me permission (actually he encouraged me!) to ask him some very direct questions about how he reconciled his faith in a loving God with what happened. He then spoke from Mark 10 about how we can be sure that there is 'More to Life than Death'.
The interview I did with him and his follow-up talk should be on the sermon player on Woodgreen's website in the next day or so. If you weren't at Woodgreen on Sunday why not listen to it. And why not consider passing it on to someone else who might find it helpful?
This Sunday I'm going to be interviewing Paul Andrew, who is Programme Controller for Heart FM. Is there 'More to life than Fame'? Lots of wannabes want to be famous these days. Shows like X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent have brought fame (and infamy) within reach of the average person.
But is fame all it's cracked up to be? Paul has met his fair share of famous people, so I'm looking forward to hearing his reflections. Paul is also a committed Christian, so I'll also be asking him whether Jesus is still relevant in a celebrity age.
After the interview I'm going to give a short talk from the last part of Mark 10. As an introduction to that I've put together a compilation of quotes about fame. What do the people who know best - famous people - say about fame?
Watch it and judge for yourself, and then why not pass it on to a friend...
