Psalm 90 - A Modern Version

Contributed by Nathan Eyland on Feb 9, 2005

This is an attempt to retell Psalm 90 in a way that is relevant for today

Message From Hell

Contributed by Mark Sparks on Feb 14, 2005

This sermon draws a contrast between the death, buriel, and after life of two people through the words of Jesus. This message also shows the importance of sharing Christ to our friends and family before it is eternally to late.

The main character in this program would receive a paper every day that showed what was going to happen the next day.
