Life in Bethlehem
This is the sermon given by guest preacher, Micheal Zoughbi, a Christian, native of Bethlehem, and friend of Rev. Sparks. For those who were in church yesterday, you’ll note, I managed to clean out nearly all of the bleed over from the radio station, hopefully this was a one-time occurrence. http://www.graceucclancaster.org/sermons/2012-11-25.mp3
