July 17, 2011 – God’s Part in the Deal
GRACE – We say grace at meals; someone beautiful “graces” the room; to be in someone’s “good graces” is to live in their goodwill and favor. The definitions of grace go on and on.

July 10, 2011 – Our Part in God’s Deal
Sermon begins at the 36 minute mark! Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, classified people as either believers or non-believers. These two viewpoints are quite the opposite.
