READ OR LISTEN TO "Of Threads and Labels," Byron Palmer's July 17 sermon. "Recently," Byron says, "I made a personal, purposeful, perennial decision to study the Bible as a treasure hunt, looking for Jesus, looking at Jesus. What I want to do this morning is extend to you a personal invitation to go with me on the treasure hunt which has marked part of my spiritual journey for several months now, a journey that has awakened me during the night or very early in the morning to seek and to pray, a journey that has distracted me during meetings and phone calls and visits with friends." NOTE: Because of a technical issue, Byron's sermon audio begins "in progress." To get the entire message, first click "text" to read the manuscript to get the context. There on the text page you'll find a link to the audio as well.

Learn these R's and how to apply them. (Click audio or text.)
