Lost your way in life?

“I am the way and the truth and the life”. – Jesus

On Sunday the 7th of May 2023 the Reverend Hazel Goodfellow preached at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church in Port Elizabeth. The sermon was based on John 14: 1-14 with particular emphasis on v 6 where Jesus taught “I am the way and the truth and the life”. I can confidently say that all of us who heard the reading and sermon were blessed. So, I asked the Rev. Hazel if I could put her sermon on my blog and she graciously agreed. I shall read the passage from the Gospel and I shall also read the sermon notes verbatim that the Rev. Hazel kindly gave me.  Omitted are some interesting ex tempore additions.

I trust that all who listen to this blog will be blessed and encouraged. Thank you Rev. Hazel. To God b the glory.
