John 20:1-18

Sermon

Wayne Brouwer

... tunes on the charts at once. When Orpheus sang, the birds swooped in just to flit on his lilting melodies. When Orpheus sang, the clouds rolled back from the skies, the sun shone more brightly, and the beasts crept out of the shadows to dance their fancy footwork.
