Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

Sermon # 4 - The Power Of The Early Church Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 30, 2023
