(Audio//Text) Title: The Great Tangent (Part Five) Intro: I tried, I really did try, but I failed. I tried to get this into one sermon, but I assume, you’d rather have two 30 minute messages than one 1 hour message. (If I’d done it all, it would have been an 8 page sermon…) Last week…

(Audio/Video/Text) Title: From What to So What Intro: Into the Second Half of Ephesians!
