Series: HymnsService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerSeveral decades ago, Thomas A. Dorsey, the "father of black gospel music", wrote a beautiful song to help cope with the loss of his wife and child in childbirth.

Series: AmosService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerThe message of Amos is coming quickly toward its climax.

Series: N/AService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Eric ParkerThe Bible clearly illustrates that there is a demonstrative difference between our conscience and whether or not the standard we have chosen is correct.
