By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more

Contributed by Matthew Baker on Nov 3, 2000

The disciples asked for faith but what they really needed was faithfulness.

In our daily lives, we come across many different people. Often, when we are with strangers, in order to break the ice, we engage in what is called, "small talk."

A message that uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to explain the doctrine of Justification by Grace Through Faith.
