In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more

Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more
