Seeing God - Matthew 5:8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 6, 2024

His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed ...read more
