Posted by on 8.10.08 in Sermons

This afternoon I started working on a sermon on Hebrews 11:13-16.

In fact, it doesn’t even contain an illustrati…

We have posted a new sermon called Be Still and Know. The sermon came in response to a question from a friend in China who wondered why God sent the terrible earthquake that took so many lives in the Sichuan province last week.
