Lent 2007
Sermon Series
Addressing five common
difficult questions that are raised
in relation to our faith These web pages contain five
sermons preached at St Michael's Church over the first five weeks of
Lent 2007. Each one considers a different difficult common question

I hope and pray these sermons provide 'food for thought' and help
us all to share our faith more readily.
Single documents containing this introduction and the text of all
five sermons together are also available. [MS
