The act of writing a sermon is a complex process which involves both the inspiration of God and the drawing together of the ideas and thoughts of God's people. Whereas every attempt has been made to identify the sources of ideas, often the good ones remain fixed for years and while knowledge of the source fades. I apologise for those ideas of others presented here without acknowledgement and will rectify the same if advised on the email address above. Similarly, I do not feel a proprietry right to this material and I am happy for this material to be passed on to or used by others should it strengthen them on their faith journey. Provided that is that it is not for profit or commercial usage. I only ask for acknowledgement of the source and copyright.
