Sermon: Dreams and Visions – Scott Brubaker-Zehr – audio
Luke 24:36-45
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself.

Acts 10:9-16
