VIDEO – Detour to Egypt
In this sermon from Vintage Church, I preach from Matthew 2:13-23 about the detour that Mary, Joseph and Jesus take to Egypt shortly after His birth. God had a specific purpose for this detour.

Our workplace, personalities, hobbies and interests, political leanings, personal preferences, favorite sports team…the list keeps going!
