Before you watch the sermon this week, here’s a primer on the Trinity: And now the sermon:

“Holy moments batman!” Yep…that’s something that your pastor said in a meeting a few weeks ago. That sounds very pastoral and theological, doesn’t it?

College E-Devotions for April 26

New Day Sermonlent 4 Sermon Text: Genesis 17:1–7, 15–16 and Mark 8:31–38 Have you ever received an invitation in the mail? What do they look like? Well, I’ve received many an invitation from cards that look like over-blown red balloons—you flip open the card and inside with cutesy curly lettering you’re told that there’s a birthday with…
