    Contributed by Mark Wood on Mar 14, 2006
    based on 27 ratings
     | 5,365 views

    Dr. Wood shows his audience that in the midst of problems the good news of Jesus Christ cannot be held back. God uses three groups to get the good news out. The unexpected, the unsuspected and the undeflected.
