The Amazing Emmanuel Preacher's Kit

The Amazing Emmanuel Preacher Kit

The American public continues to be fascinated with superheroes. But when you think about it, who fills that role better than Jesus? Our new seven-part preaching series begins the Sunday before Thanksgiving ("Thank God for a Hero Too Wonderful for Words"), continues through the four Sundays of Advent, includes a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day message, and concludes on New Year's Sunday ("Watch the Sky for Your Superhero's Return").
