Many see him as a hero ...read more

You keep your focus on Him and ...read more

    What does it mean to suggest that we "killed the author of life"? Readings from C.S. Lewis and John 1 complemented this sermon.

The prologue from John was also read. After some music, the crucifixion narrative was read, and then this sermon was ...read more
