It’s been called “the mystery book of the Old Testament” (Ray Steadman). Few sermons are preached from ...read more

    Looking at the world around us it would be so easy to give up. The cycles of problems and the ever declining situations we wittness. Persons of faith look through the problems and find God in the mists of trouble and pain and we can keep going.
