Faith that works James 2:14-26 As most of you would know, Sydney Anglicans tend to get a bit of a bad write-up in the secular press.

A Savior, Who Is The Messiah, The Lord Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 19, 2011

Obedience; Big "O” Series

Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 2, 2008

Gods Favor..gods Plan..gods Idea...
