Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 27, 2024

Christmas Day: Name That Tune!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 22, 2007

This all-age talk for Christmas Day is based around a game of ’Name that Tune’. Each of the 5 tunes, once guessed, help to build up the sermon which ends asking people to invite Jesus into their lives if they’ve not already done so.

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Aug 13, 2018
