    OPEN: Words have meaning. (We showed a video clip by www.vidangel.com/ that explained the impact of curse words on our families using paint balls fired at a family watching TV to visualize the sharp increase of swear words in our “entertainment” mediums) (You can find the video we used at ...read more

    “It’s A Wonderful Life” is a remembrance of that innocence.

Usually, one of the networks will air the movie on the 23rd of December; sometimes even Christmas Eve. ...read more

    There are three points to this sermon. 1. God gives courage to ordinary people. 2. God gives us courage to overcome our doubts and fears. 3. God gives us courage to face the future.

I only spoke of movies I had seen and since I am not a sports fan changed the ending.) Christmas ...read more
