Gorse Hill Baptist Church is a vibrant church in the heart of Swindon made up of a diverse range of people from all across the town and surrounding areas. Our mission is knowing God to make Him know. This gives us a passion to deepen our relationship with God and to tell others of His love. This podcast includes sermons from Steve Robinson and others preaching at our church.

A precious gift
Most of us have signed some form of contract at one time or another. Whether it’s an application for a bank account, filling out your tax form or signing a mortgage deed or tenancy agreement – your signature, whether on the dotted line or in the square box, brings a change in status but also commits you to do specific things in a certain way. Paul continues his forensic explanation of what our salvation involves as he reminds his readers of the condition they were once in. It’s as if they had contracted to themselves to a self centred way of life which could only ever bring heartache and pain. Escape from the contract was impossible using their own resources, redemption (payment of the debt and release from servitude) could only come from one source.
