Afterwards, They Sang - Preparing for Passover and Resurrection Sunday
LBFC Weekly Sermons
Matthew reports in chapter 26, verse 30 that Jesus and the disciples sang... something? I mean, after eating the Passover meal that we often call The Last Supper. What did they sing?

The Communion song I mentioned is available on video from Ethnos Community Church. Rachel Matthew is the soloist. See:...

Sermon on the Mount - Two Gates
LBFC Weekly Sermons
We've arrived at the concluding challenge section of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In this podcast we briefly review the sermon so far, and then focus on the images of two gates that Jesus uses in his conclusion: one small opening to a narrow road and one broad leading to an easy road. We also take a little detour into a discussion of "many" and "few" with respect to who finds the gate that lead to life.
