    Retells the story of the Samaritan Woman with a stress on the advantages of God’s truth vs. Man’s

    A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

So on the way back north on Monday morning I stopped at the Kmart in Temecula to stock up on Kleenex and ...read more
