- Dec 24, 2017The Secret of Living – Luke 1:26-38The Secret of Living – Luke 1:26-38In the last message of the Advent season, Pastor Frank Reeder gives us a window on a key truth for living well. In a culture that looks forward to getting lots of Christmas gifts, the spotlight is rather upon giving rather than receiving.
