    In 1969, in Pass Christian, Mississippi, a group of people were preparing to have a "hurricane party" in the face of a storm named Camille. Were they ignorant of the dangers?

    A sermon about learning that we love God through loving others.

    “Learning That We Love Jesus” John 21:1-19 I would imagine that almost all of us can relate to trying to get a child to try a new food, only to have them make a gagging noise without even putting it in their mouths.

And it is temptation that I want to focus on this morning. Temptation is something that we all must deal with. ...read more
