They start out married life in just a small place, with room for themselves and maybe that first child. They ...read more

    There are three times in Hebrews 10:19-25, that the Hebrew writer uses the phrase, “let us,” to appeal to the local congregation about being steadfast in their attendance to the local assembly or church.
