Scripture Passage John 14:15-21 Sermon Text Importance of Connection These days I realize how important it is to meet people physically.

Scripture Passage : John 20:11-18   Sermon Text Mary came to the tomb after Jesus died. Mary truly loved Jesus. You know, the deeper you love a person, the greater loss you feel. She was in deep sorrow. You know, in deep sorrow, you cannot see things around you. She saw the angels, but she […]

Scripture Passage Matthew 17:1-9 Sermon Text The passage that we read today is a beautiful passage that if you draw a picture, you’ll draw a very nice painting.
