Part 3 of a 3-Part Year-End Special where Pastor Karl breaks out the ol' cassette tape sermons from decades ago to see just how timeless the Word of God truly is. Today's message Karl almost doesn't want to share - it contains a long-forgotten secret of the ancient church fathers that has been hidden within a Latin code that Karl deciphered many years ago and prefers to keep to himself, and yet, the impact it has had on his spiritual life is so profound, he is compelled to share it. So you are welcome to listen but don't share it with too many people. Let's keep this spiritual Latin code to ourselves.

Part 2 of a 3-Part Year-End Special where Pastor Karl breaks out the ol' cassette tape sermons from over 25 years ago! Today's message from 1997 is as relevant today as the day he first delivered it on a Sunday night in the inner city of Chicago. So often in life or ministry, we see God blessing those around us and wonder if He has overlooked us and forgotten our needs and prayer requests. Does God ever get distracted and forget the promises He made to us? Or could He be up to something we just can't see? It's a message that will encourage and give you hope if you are secretly wondering if God hasn't gotten a little distracted.
