    Sermon preached Easter weekend in the first person - pastor dressed in period costume as Pontius Pilate - and members of the congregation interacting as characters in the Easter story.

The members told him that he was boring them to tears and that their patience was wearing ...read more

Absolutely not! Christmas, The Trinity, Good Friday, and even the word Easter are just words we ...read more
