Imagine that for years and years they have watched as this man’s family and friends have carried him everyday to the Temple gate to beg for money. That was his job....that was his ...read more

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 4, 2009

A Man Who Had Been With Jesus

Contributed by Randy Trotter on Sep 12, 2009

Lesson 2 : Truncated History Series

Contributed by Rolland Bouchard on Dec 10, 2009
