Sam Robson rips it to pieces with the following a cappella hymns! He has an amazing set of lungs as he sings up to 9 different parts in each hymn. The hymns have solid lyrics with beautiful arrangements. If you’ve only got time for one, go for It is Well. See all below…
SUPPORT PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS IN THE PAKISTAN ANGLICAN CHURCH
At least 85 Christians have been killed while they gathered at All Saints Anglican Church in Peshawar, Pakistan this last weekend. Two suicide bombers posed as police officers to make their way into the church of more than 400 people. The total number killed is still unclear, but could be as high as 200. It’s being called the deadliest attack on Christians in Pakistan.
200 million Christians around the world live under the constant threat of persecution. So while it’s normal for Christians to be persecuted and even targeted, it’s still heartbreaking, nonetheless. Christianity is so comfortable in the part of Sydney I live in. It’s hard to imagine such an event!

Also you can donate via the ANGLICAN AID EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND to help support our brothers and sisters in need.
Pray that our brothers and sisters in Christ would stand firm in the midst of grief, pain and persecution.

GOD IS MY HELP // A SERMON ON PSALM 40 FOR HSC STUDENTS
At St Faith’s Narrabeen we are deliberate in the way that we seek to care for our year 12s in their final year of schooling. This week is our HSC Study Hall and on the weekend we had a year 12 church service. It’s got the normal night church crowd, but we give a little bit of love to the year 12s. We thank their leaders, meet them, pray for them, give them a gift and then have a sermon with particular application for them. See below for my sermon.
