Short Stories

Gordon found that some of the best ways to tell people about the love of God is through the telling of stories. Jesus used stories and parables throughout his ministry. The stories Gordon told each Sunday night for over seventeen years on his radio program Sunday Night Live with Gordon Moyes, are real stories about real people and situations. During their years of being broadcast, they achieved the highest ratings of all broadcast programs. Some of them are funny, some are sad, but each communicates an important lesson about God’s love for His people.

 

Each week several of Gordon's short stories will be uploaded. His facebook provides updates of when his sermons are uploaded and their titles. Please click here to be redirected to Gordon's facebook page and like it.
