Sermon: Letter to Henry
We usually share a short clip from Greg’s sermons here, but we decided that a clip just won’t do this week. This last weekend Greg preached about the life and death of Henry and what it does and does not say about God. You can listen to the sermon and download other resources over at the Woodland Hills Church sermon page. We hope you’ll take the time to listen in if you’ve been touched by Henry’s story or if you have suffered a loss similar to this. Be blessed and comforted.

Twenty Arguments Against Cameron’s “The Lost Tomb of Jesus”
On March 4th, 2007, the Discovery Channel aired James Cameron’s much celebrated documentary, “The Lost Tomb of Jesus.” The documentary basically gives a new spin on an old discovery.

How can you believe Matthew’s report about the Jewish cover up of the resurrection?

How would Matthew know about this story, since it was a secret conversation the authorities had with the guards? And how could they…
