Sermon For Trinity Sunday

Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it ...read more

We remember the visit of the three wise men, but we also remember that Jesus came into the world for everyone-Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, upper class people and lower class people, humble shepherds and wise men and so on. It is also a happy ...read more
