    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 786 views

Back in 1946, a dude named Vincent Schaeffer made it snow by seeding clouds with dry ice. But guess what? This idea isn't new. Even the prophet Elijah did it. Even the ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 7,280 views

    We tend to pose a big "why" to God when our prayers are not answered. The problem is not with God, but with us.
