Funeral service about the multitude robed in white.

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is where it describes heaven and the joy in the presence of the Lord. Where nothing separates us from the love of our heavenly father.

(Pause) But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you've set it free... you either married it or ...read more

It seemed like just another day in the sleepy little town of Gath. Merchants selling their wares in the little local market. People standing in front of the shops, discussing the latest news and gossip. Small town folks just going about another typical day … when “they” appeared. Now … any ...read more
