#045: Lent Is Like A Box Of Chocolates

The podcast is very special this week. I share 3 talks! (1) Kids'sermon "Follow The Directions." Listen as the children and I whip up a batch of brownies right in church, while I teach them the value of reading their Bibles. (2) The sermon from last Sunday, "Plot Lines: The Golden Rule of the Christian Life." We talk about why doing to others as we would have them do to us keeps us on the narrow path. Finally (3) and my favorite, by the way, "Lent Is Like A Box of Chocolates." I tell the story of how I learned about Lent with a couple of humorous stories.

Music for this week's podcast is "All I Want Is You" by Phil Wickham.
