    Final sermon in the Advent Series focusing on the Shepherds and their role in the Christmas Event.

Are we living in end times?” In my fifth Reflection I noted that the Daily Express [an English newspaper] had asked another question: “What does the Bible say ...read more

Reconciliation results with the offended person forgives and the offending person repents. Forgiveness + Repentance = ...read more
