Sermon by Michael Robinson Introduction Ever been lost? I remember getting lost when I was very young.

Sermon by Graham Agnew. I never cease to be amazed how quickly and dramatically priorities can be turned upside down in an instant – totally without warning! As I recall, it was a beautiful morning in Adelaide when I went out to the family room of our home to collect my dad’s empty cup of … Continue reading
Sermon by Bob Smith My wife tells me that one of the most meaningful sermons she heard during her university days, when she was questioning the validity of faith, was a sermon titled the importance of doubting your doubts.
