    The Power Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

But when we take an overview of the Gospels we discover that his speaking to the large crowds is not what made the lasting impact. What carried the ministry of Jesus after his death was the time he invested with small ...read more
