  • Jan 13, 2019
  • 1995-01-15

Printed and highlighted sermon from 1995. OCR has been used to create a text version, as well. The OCR thought that God was Cod, which I found funny.

Baptism of Jesus

  • Jan 13, 2019
  • 1989-01-08
  • SERMONS
Printed and highlighted sermon from 1989. There does not appear to be a title. It references the President, and the context from 1989 is different from that of 2019.

  • 1987-12-19
