Were it not for the famous Lizzie Borden murder trial taking place five hundred miles away in Fall River, Massachusetts, the story of the phantom train of Cambria County might have become well-known outside of Carrolltown. This tiny borough sits twenty miles west of Altoona, and, in 1892, became a stop on the newly-formed Cambria & Clearfied Railroad. The focal point of this rail line was a tunnel constructed through Strittmatter Hill, just south of Carrolltown. And it was near this spot where one of the strangest unexplained events in Pennsylvania history took place.

In this sermon we'll cover:Why this journey mattered so much to the promises of GodHow to walk by faith when the outcome is unknown7 timeless principles for doing God's work todayWhy God uses people to fulfill His eternal missionHow to live a life that echoes into eternityYou can visit Walnut Creek Church - Altoona at wcaltoona.org

We also talk fun stuff — Chipotle orders, golf handicaps, favorite Atlanta artists, and even a potential Georgia–Ole Miss rivalry with fellow prospect Derek Diamond.

Join us as we launch into our newest sermon series on Genesis, continuing where we left off with chapter 23, verses 1-20. In this chapter, Abraham faces the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Sarah. And while this chapter may seem like a random, obscure negotiation for land, it's actually one of the most profound acts of faith in the Old Testament. Abraham puts faith in God's promises, trusting in a future he can't see yet, but one he knows will come to pass because he has seen what God has already done.Abraham only owned a cave and a field, but he lived like heaven was his true homeland. We're called to do the same.
