the rock, but it surely was a message, and anyone can find it there today.
Deleted Scenes from "The
Passion of the Christ" - As good as the movie was, I prefer "the book."

Remember...this is primarily a free download ministry...our main goal is getting this material out, but web space and time don't allow for the sermons just added to this page. Plus, some users don't have "High Speed" connections or don't want to fool with downloading [believe me, I understand!].
The money from sales helps offset the large amount of web space this ministry consumes, which helps keep this a free service, and will help us be able to post more messages in the future!
