Hey, Preacher. Leave Those Weeds Alone. Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Mar 16, 2013

Matthew 13:36-43 - Hell, God’s Waste Management Centre - Part 11 Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 1, 2011

It is a sickly, acrid, repulsive stench that makes you curl your face into an involuntary grimace and hold your nose. In the Valley of Hinnom, outside Jerusalem, refuse is burned continually day and night. Jesus uses it as a picture of Hell.
