Spiritual Awareness Of Luke 7:11-24

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 23, 2024

How To Be A Timothy - Philippians 2:22-24 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 17, 2024

The preaching of the Word won’t have an effect on the hard, rocky, or weedy soil until someone gets down on the ground of that person’s heart and does some gardening.
