Last Sunday’s sermon
Sermon from Sunday. The Lessons are actually for a couple of weeks from now…I’m meditating on hope, loss, beheadings, and Guiding Light (yes the TV show). Let me know what you think! Sermon from June 28, 2009 Good Samaritan. God Has the Last Word. http://www.goodsamchurch.org/artman2/uploads/1/_20090628_GSA.mp3
